The front & back of beer cans & bottles
Discussion
The front has the marketing information (!) on it, the back has the legally
required facts.
Three examples:
1. Newcastle Brown Ale. Lots of marketing guff on the front, actually
brewed in Tadcaster and has been for decades. Just 90 miles from
Geordieland, so nobbut an hour's drive for some of us.
2. Carlsberg. Danish marketing guff on the front. Actually brewed
in that fine Danish city of Wolverhampton. Just the small
matter of 900 miles from Denmark then.
3. Moretti. Lots of pictures of blokes in hats on the front. Brewed
in that fine Italian city of Edinburgh, just 1,200 miles away.
Anyone got any further examples of drinking the marketing ?
There is a special prize for the person that finds the longest distance
between the front and the back of the can or bottle.
Heineken Manchester says:
The site, originally founded in 1875 as the Albert Brewery, has been instrumental in the UK’s brewing history — notably pioneering the first UK-brewed lager, Red Tower.
Today, the Manchester facility is a global production powerhouse, rolling out approximately 2.2 million pints every day of key European brands including Heineken, Birra Moretti, Cruzcampo, Foster’s, Amstel, and Red Stripe.

I was surprised to know that Peroni really is brewed in Italy.
Very unusual these days. I'm getting fed up with the amount of license brewed stuff on the shelves these days.If I'm buying lager in the supermarket I tend to go for something like Budvar or Pilsner Urquell which I think are both still Czech made

I bought some Sapporo from costco recently, I think that's brewed in Vietnam. Ashai is brewed in Kent.
The only 'Med' lager I can think of that's brewed in the Med and sold here is Efes.
Mythos, if you re generous with your med geography. The only 'Med' lager I can think of that's brewed in the Med and sold here is Efes.
