Unverified

No brewer statement or pack transcription has been found for the key claims. This page is published so that readers can send evidence; it is not indexed by search engines.

Brahma has very limited UK grocery distribution and no Tesco, Sainsbury's, Ocado, Waitrose or Morrisons page with a country of origin field was found. UK ABV, UK supply route and UK brewer are all unconfirmed. Needs a bottle photo.

Not listed at Ocado in a search on 2026-09-06.

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

In short

We have not been able to establish where the UK supply of Brahma is brewed. It is sold as a beer from Brazil. What is known and what is still open is set out in the verification box above. A photo of the small print on a current can or bottle would settle it.
