Tesco lists 'Bavaria 5% 660ml Bottle' at 5.0% vol. The title omits the word Premium; it was the closest Bavaria listing Tesco returned and is recorded as this product pending a pack check.

What we have not confirmed

Only Wikipedia supports the owner and the brewery, which is not enough on its own. Tesco lists the 660ml bottle with a strength but no country of origin or producer, and the brewer's own site is behind an age gate.

A Morrisons listing that read 'Brewed and bottled by: Holland Door, Bavaria, P.O. Box 1, 5737 ZG Lieshout, Holland' at 5.0% has since been taken down, and SuperValu's Irish listing of the same bottle says the same. Everything points to Lieshout, but we have not seen a live UK listing that says so. The only Bavaria at Morrisons now is the alcohol-free can, a different product, brewed in Lieshout. When we last looked (9 September 2026), Asda, Ocado, Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Bestway did not list it.

If you have a can or bottle to hand, the producer's name and address in the small print would settle it.

In short

We have not been able to establish where the UK supply of Bavaria Premium is brewed. It is sold as a beer from Germany. What is known and what is still open is set out in the verification box above. The UK strength on record is 5.0%. A photo of the small print on a current can or bottle would settle it.
