Drei Kronen in Strassgiech?

It is a contract beer. I'll see if I can find out where the beer is brewed. The brewery is listed in the 1989 Stefan Mack guide and as a contract brewery in the 93 edition. So that is a rough idea of when the local brewery stopped brewing. If you look at the website there is a lot of slick marketing for a little village brewery. My guess is a larger brewery bought the rights to the name. It seems to be targeted to Australia. Found this in the comments under Drie Kronnen Schesslitz (who had the opposite problem of you :) ) "Is this the 1308 Bier in Strassgiech? Owned by Hans Gerner? Bought by a South African Brewery and then reaquired by the Gerner Family. Excellent beer."
