There are in some areas pubs that would merit a brand tag (maybe it is generally common), they have the beer logo aside their name on the sign, beer mats, menus, glasses , sunshades, everything can be branded (it could happen they’re “recycling” material like glasses or beer mats from a different brand, but usually you would get the beer on the sign as draft beer). For example in Berlin, there are the infamous “Schultheis-Eckkneipe”n

or Berliner Kindl

these places do not change brand frequently, and verifiability in Germany is typically quite good (means the signs are big ;) )
That’s part of the pubs, there are also the „modern“ ones that change the beer frequently and sell microbrewery stuff, and others that don’t put big beer brand signs for one or the other reason, but at least for a big part of the German pubs (and some restaurants) it would be easy to populate a brand tag, that’s not a big stretch compared to other uses of brand, and I don’t see a competing interpretation of brand in the pub context. On the other hand, if it were about available draft beer types, the brand approach would not be promising (but these may change, or not, according to the pub).
