Partly verified

At least one of those three claims rests on a secondary source or an inference, a disagreement between sources is still open, or a split supply has a format that has not been read.

The delisting and the brewery sale are sourced. ABV and the exact interim brewing site between 2023 and 2024 are unknown.

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

In short

We have not been able to establish where the UK supply of Eagle IPA is brewed. 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.
