What we have not confirmed

The strength and the launch date come from the trade press. The brewery is our inference from Birra Peroni's ownership of the Peroni family of beers; we have not read a UK listing with a country of origin. The Grocer reports that Asahi UK phased Capri out of the UK during 2025, and when we last looked (9 September 2026) no major supermarket listed it.

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

In short

Peroni Nastro Azzurro Stile Capri is imported. The UK product is brewed in Italy. It is also the same strength as at home, 4.2%. The brand belongs to Asahi Group Holdings, which also owns Asahi Super Dry and Fuller's in the UK.
