I have absolutely no evidence, just a sneaking suspicion that Erdinger Brauhaus Helles • RateBeer might possibly be an alias of this one: Stiftungsbräu Stiftung Hell • RateBeer . Do any of you German gentlemen have any verifiable info about this? Or is my suspicion totally unfounded?
suspicions like these are often enough correct. The biggest pointer towards this being a mere rebranding is the fact that the Stiftungsbräu-Website appears to have been down for a couple months. However, Stiftungsbräu is still being tapped at some places. Let’s see if we can get some official info on this.
Here in NRW the “Stiftungsbräu” just disappeared from the shelves… so I would go with @Sigmund, that they probably have re-branded it for national distribution, where “Stiftungsbräu” is quite unknown…
