Brauerei Krug

Sometimes the name of the "Gemeinde" is mentioned, rather than the village itself. "Gemeinde" is one of the hierarchical layers in the political organisation (administrative divisions, if you prefer - found this description in US geographical software). In some cases you could even encounter breweries with the same name in a "Gemeinde" - in one of my (older) brewery directories there are two "Drei Kronen" breweries listed under Schesslitz: one in Schesslitz (properly) and one in Schesslitz OT Strassgiech (OT: Ortsteil - sort of suburb, although "urb"~ish references might be an overrating for a village like Strassgiech). I'm quite sure more examples can be found. Jos
