Verified

The three claims that matter, where the beer sold in the UK is brewed, its UK strength and who owns the brand, each rest on the brewer's own statement or on a seller's page transcribing the pack. Where the exact brewery is inferred rather than named, the page says so.

Two research passes disagreed, checked 5 September 2026

two independent passes disagreed; resolution=unresolved. cruzcampo.es blocked all three fetch attempts (403), so neither side's figure could be checked against the brewer's site. The Spanish variant closest in name to UK Cruzcampo Sevilla (4.4%) is Cruzcampo Pilsen, but its ABV is not established until a primary source is fetched. Secondary sites (Birrapedia) were not used as deciding evidence. SETTLED 2026-09-05: cruzcampo.es was reached and gives Cruzcampo Pilsen at 4,8%, which is the figure now stored.

UK brewer, Manchester site, UK ABV, Spanish comparators and the on-trade launch date are all sourced to trade press or a retailer page. The exact month of the off-trade launch is not stated in the sources found; The Grocer piece describes it as following the April on-trade launch.

The small print on the base of a current can or bottle, giving the producer name and address, would settle this.
