What we have not confirmed

The owner is confirmed. An earlier listing on the Sharp's Brewery shop gave 4.5% for the 24 x 330ml case; the three current listings below all give 4.7%, which is the strength we show.

Three listings name three different producers. Morrisons' 12 x 330ml prints 'Brewed by: MCBC (UK) Ltd., Burton-on-Trent' with no country of origin; Bestway's 24 x 330ml gives the Czech Republic as country of origin and says 'Brewed for' Molson Coors UK; Matthew Clark's catalogue says the United States. CAMRA's report 'Beer in the UK' (July 2026, edited by Tim Webb) lists Miller among lagers produced in the UK, without a source, which fits Morrisons but not Bestway. We cannot choose between them until we read a pack ourselves.

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

In short

We have not been able to establish where the UK supply of Miller Genuine Draft is brewed. It is sold as a beer from the United States. What is known and what is still open is set out in the verification box above. The UK strength on record is 4.7%. A photo of the small print on a current can or bottle would settle it.
