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.

Owner and a current site verified from Molson Coors. ABV from Wikipedia only; no retailer page. Site attribution conflicts between Molson Coors (Tadcaster) and Protz (Burton). White Shield status unclear.

The small print on the base of a current can or bottle, giving the producer name and address, would settle this.

In short

Worthington's Creamflow is a British beer brewed in Britain, at Tadcaster, North Yorkshire and Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, and the packaging does not pretend otherwise. The brand belongs to Molson Coors Beverage Company, which also owns Caffrey's and Carling in the UK. It is 3.6%.
