Brewed Where?

Which beers sold as foreign are brewed in Britain, and what to buy instead

Supermarket own-label world lagers

Aldi Stores Ltd, Lidl and Marks and Spencer plc sell lagers styled as Spanish, Italian or German under names of their own. These are the beers this site exists for, and they are the ones we know least about: 6 of the 7 rows here are unverified, because the retailers do not publish a producer and their product pages cannot be fetched.

What would settle it. The base or side panel of the can carries a producer name and address, and a country of origin field. Reading that panel is enough to move one of these rows from unverified to partly verified. Until a submission route is open, these stay as they are: published, unindexed, and honest about the gap.

Unverified pages are published so the gap is visible rather than hidden. They carry a noindex directive, so they will not appear in search results until there is a source behind them. They sit alongside the rest of the open questions.
