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.
The UK strength of 4.5% comes from the Sharp's Brewery shop listing of the 24 x 330ml case, read earlier. Owner verified. UK brewer, site, UK ABV and label origin all unknown. Needs a bottle photo or Molson Coors confirmation.

three listings give three different producers. Morrisons' 12 x 330ml prints 'Brewed by: MCBC (UK) Ltd., Burton-on-Trent' with no origin field; Bestway's 24 x 330ml prints country of origin Czech Republic and 'Brewed for' Molson Coors UK; Matthew Clark's catalogue says United States. All three agree on 4.7%. The supply stays not established until a pack is read in hand.
2026-09-21: CAMRA's report 'Beer in the UK' (July 2026, edited by Tim Webb) lists Miller among lagers produced in the UK, without a source. That fits the Morrisons listing ('Brewed by: MCBC (UK) Ltd., Burton-on-Trent') but not Bestway's Czech Republic origin, so the conflict stays open until a pack is read.
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 Miller Genuine Draft is brewed. It is sold as a beer from the United States. What is known and what is still open is set out in the verification box above. The UK strength on record is 4.7%. A photo of the small print on a current can or bottle would settle it.
This page is about the packs sold in supermarkets. Draught in pubs can come from a different brewery, and this page does not cover it unless a format table says so.
