Ownership & corporate history

What the sources say
Researched 2026-09-13 (Wikidata P576 lead rejected as closure; recorded as succession); no held claim preceded it. Corporate succession, not closure: industrial brewing ended in 2011 and a specialty brewery (20 hl brews) continues on the site under Brau Union Österreich; Kaiser specialties brewed there again from 2024.
Ownership history is kept as dated events, so a change of owner never overwrites the one before it.
