Landbier/Kellerbier

A conversation everyone loves.
By chance I stumbled over the 1990 edition of Stefan Macks 'Fraenkische Brauereikarte' and as he mentions the 'name' of the beers each brewery produces, decided to count and map them*. Let's see if we can carefully glean something from this.

* blindly assuming that the info is correct and complete
** not knowing what the terms signify
*** not knowing what other terms are used in other breweries to describe that bier

most often named are (in order of feeling):
dunkles, pils, lagerbier, festbier, export, vollbier, bock, maerzen, helles.

only two/three mention of zwicklbier/zwickelbier (one clarified as unfiltered pils) and one mention of zwickelpils.

Ungespundet, while rarely in name is increasingly often mentioned among the last 150 breweries as descriptor. Missing the map, on first glance this seems to be the region around Buttenheim/Bamberg/Merkendorf/Burgebrach towards Wuerzburg.
