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, launch date and ABV verified from trade press. Brewing location for UK stock is unverified: the Tesco listing for Heineken Silver did not carry producer or origin fields at the time of checking. Category assigned provisionally and should be revisited once a pack photo is available.

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