Seems to make visiting little country breweries even more of an imperative before they're all closed!  It's a real ragedy what's happening.  Ironic contrast with situation in the Uk where new breweries open every day. 

I was trying to think through the reasons why this is happening.  These little breweries do have some kind of local market - often small but better than a lot of the British micro's that have to fight for space in the free trade.  Also, the competition is just as intense because, like in Germany, beer is cheap in supermarkets, so a lot of people drink at home.  I think, probably, it is the Camra effect, which has created a niche market for real ale that is big enough to sustain reasonably sized market.  Interesting that a lot of the foreign enthusiasts who come to Franken are also real ale devotees, even the US ones, as the rise in US micro's was (probably?) inspired by the effect of Camra.

I suppose that Germany really needs a 'Camra-type' movement.
