Stay-Lube (CRC) makes a high temp disk brake wheel bearing grease too but it's an aluminum complex grease. It can work up to 325 degrees F. The drum brake type has a high point working temp up to 250 degrees F.

It 's a bit of a trade off between sodium based soaps and aluminum based soaps. Sodium has a bit better anti wear capability than aluminum based so they add moly and graphite to the disk stuff. The price is likely a bit higher on the drum type brake stuff due to the lack of drum type brakes that are in use these days. Almost everything has gone to disk brakes.
