Two hundred and three brand guides to beer and cider — and who owns the brewery.
Many of the world’s best-known beers belong to a few brewing groups, and a beer sold under one country’s name may be brewed under licence elsewhere. These guides set out the owner and where each beer is brewed.
Europe
The European guides cover German breweries (Beck’s, Krombacher, Bitburger, Paulaner, Augustiner, Hofbräu), Belgian abbey and Trappist beers (Leffe, Westmalle, Orval) and Belgian specialities (Hoegaarden, Delirium Tremens, Kwak), Dutch lagers (Amstel, Grolsch, Bavaria), British ale brewers (Fuller’s, Adnams, Greene King, BrewDog) and Central European names such as Tyskie, Lech and Staropramen.
The Americas and Asia
They also cover Mexican beers (Modelo, Pacifico, Dos Equis), American breweries from Yuengling and Shiner to Bell’s, Deschutes and Allagash, Canadian beers (Molson Canadian, Labatt Blue, Moosehead), and Asian beers including Tiger, Beerlao, Kingfisher, Sapporo and Cass.
Cider
The cider guides cover Strongbow, Magners, Bulmers, Somersby, Kopparberg, Rekorderlig and Thatchers.
How to use these guides
Each guide covers who owns the name today, where the products are made — by the maker’s own account and, where it differs, by other sources — and the brand’s visual identity. A company’s description of itself is attributed to the company, and where a business has closed we say so plainly. The table at the end gathers the essentials.
