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.
Launch details, original brewery and the 2022 transfer to Belhaven are verified from trade press and Heineken UK's own release. Whether Maltsmiths is still in production and at what strength was not confirmed: no current UK retailer listing was found within the research budget.
The small print on the base of a current can or bottle, giving the producer name and address, would settle this.
In short
Maltsmiths IPA and Pilsner is a British beer brewed in Britain, at Dunbar, East Lothian, and the packaging does not pretend otherwise. The brand belongs to Heineken N.V., which also owns Amstel and Heineken in the UK. It is 4.6%.
