Answers.Body: <p>If you look at the large multinational breweries like Budweiser or Heineken, they always have to list the country the beer was brewed, but not the country that the business originated in. Heineken is brewed in the UK and Ireland and Netherlands. If you are in the UK it should state on the bottle that it was brewed in the UK, unless they imported the bottles so it might be hard to track down. But all products, whether they be cars or soap or toys or computers must have a country they were manufactured in. </p>

Comments.Text: Wouldn't [AB InBev](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AB_InBev_brands) be the perfect reason for separate data? It continues to acquire companies globally, assuming control of international and local brands. I would bet many of the brands are made in multiple countries other than country of initial brew. They almost certainly have a global cadre of brewers developing product possibly brewed somewhere else.

  It is not that common, but brewers may open subsidiaries.
  
  In 2016, [Stone Brewing Co.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Brewing_Co.) from US opened a new plant in Germany (I suspect they wanted to expand in the European market). Where would your application locate those beers? (Plant was recently sold to Scottish [Brewdog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrewDog)).
  
  I suggest you locate beers where they are brewed.
