What we have not confirmed
We have not found a UK supermarket listing, a brewer statement or a trade report for Affligem, so we have not confirmed its UK strength, how it reaches UK shops or what the UK label says. The 6.7% strength and the Opwijk brewery are widely reported but are not yet backed by a source we cite.
If you have a can or bottle to hand, the producer's name and address in the small print would settle it.
