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 closure are sourced, the closure year from a secondary wiki. ABV and any residual production are unknown.

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