Koenigsberg Brewery
I just got home from a business trip to Moscow.
In several supermarkets and kiosks there, I spotted half litre bottles of Koenigsberger Bier ("brewed since 13XX"): labels all in German, with some Russian legal wording. Now, for those of you not familiar with European history, Koenigsberg was a German city until the end of the second world war, when it became part of Russia, and was renamed Kaliningrad. These days it's an isolated Russian enclave. I'm curious - has the brewery been bought by a German company (would be my guess), or are the Russians cashing in on the German heritage? Any ideas? I didn't try the beer, by the way. -- Regards Mike mikedotroebuckatgmxdotnet
