What we have not confirmed

Brahma has very little UK supermarket distribution, and we have not found a listing that gives a country of origin, so we have not confirmed its UK strength, how it reaches the UK or who brews it. When we last looked (9 September 2026), Morrisons, Asda, Ocado, Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Bestway and Trolley did not list it; it is sold through specialist importers. A photo of a bottle's small print would settle 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 Brahma is brewed. It is sold as a beer from Brazil. What is known and what is still open is set out in the verification box above. A photo of the small print on a current can or bottle would settle it.
