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.
