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.
UK ABV and country of origin come from a retailer listing; no Heineken UK statement or trade press confirmation of UK brewing was found, and the UK brewery site is unknown. The 2012 APB acquisition date is general brand history, not sourced here.
The small print on the base of a current can or bottle, giving the producer name and address, would settle this.
