Drei Kronen 1308: Brewing precision, marketing convolution, and happy hours

Drei Kronen 1308 (map) has extended the buy one, get one free deal for its tasty lager, wheat beer, and dark beer – kind of. Patrons seated in the “garden” out front or alongside this massive three-story establishment can enjoy the home brew deal at any time. Those inside will require more mental sharpness: the deal is from 5 PM to 7 PM and from 10 PM to midnight, though it only applies to lager in the latter period. In other words, be careful when and where you sit.

By the way, DK1308 has a RMB45 lunch special that includes a main (from German fare to more “international cuisine” such as Hong Kong shrimp) and a soup and salad bar. It won’t win any awards, but it does provide a solid lunch for hearty eaters.
