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.

Owner, brewery site and bottle ABV verified. Note a retailer data anomaly: the Ocado 4x500ml can listing shows country of origin 'Italy' while naming the Chiswick brewery in the same small print. That is almost certainly an Ocado data error rather than evidence of Italian brewing, but it needs a can photo to rule out.

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

In short

Fuller's London Pride is brewed at Griffin Brewery, Chiswick, London and sold as what it is. The brand belongs to Asahi Group Holdings, which also owns Asahi Super Dry and Peroni Nastro Azzurro in the UK. It is 4.7%.
