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.
origin_abv 5.2 taken from second research pass (their source list), not independently re-fetched.
two independent passes disagreed; resolution=both_partly. Side A is right on supply (imported from Poland, Kompania Piwowarska, Asahi UK as importer) and side B is right on ABV (5.0% on the Tesco 650ml bottle). Side B's 'UK production noted by The Grocer' is contradicted by the label. Polish home ABV was not fetched from a primary source so the home-market strength is not established.
Owner and home brewery verified. UK ABV, UK country of origin field and UK distribution arrangement not confirmed. Needs a UK retailer page or can photo.
The small print on the base of a current can or bottle, giving the producer name and address, would settle this.
In short
Tyskie Gronie is imported. The UK product is brewed at Tychy in Poland. It is, however, a weaker version: 5.0% here against 5.2% at home. The brand belongs to Asahi Group Holdings (Kompania Piwowarska). The label says: "Proudly made in Poland. Kompania Piwowarska S.A., ul. Szwajcarska 11, 61-285 Poznan, Poland. Asahi UK Ltd., 1 Forge End, Woking, Surrey, GU21 6DB."
