What we have not confirmed

Bestway, the wholesaler, lists Lech Premium in 4 x 500ml cans and 500ml bottles at 4.8%, both marked country of origin Netherlands and 'brewed and canned/bottled for Asahi UK Ltd, Woking'. We have not found it in a supermarket: the Tesco and Asda pages are no longer available, and Morrisons, Ocado, Sainsbury's and Waitrose do not list it. The owner, Kompania Piwowarska (part of Asahi), matches the Tyskie label, but we have not read a page confirming it for Lech.

If you have a can or bottle to hand, the producer's name and address in the small print would settle it.

In short

Lech Premium is imported. The UK product is brewed in the Netherlands. That is not the country the branding suggests: it is sold as Polish, but the beer comes from the Netherlands. The UK version is 4.8%; we have not confirmed the home-market strength. The brand belongs to Asahi Group Holdings (Kompania Piwowarska). The label says: "Country of Origin: Netherlands. Packed in: Netherlands. Brewed and canned for: Asahi UK Ltd, 1 Forge End, Woking, Surrey, GU21 6DB."
