German craft brewer's opinions on Franconian beer scene

Talikng out of his a--e, I would say.  I wonder how many Franconian breweries either of these people have visited?

I'm getting the feeling that I'm living in some sort of parallel universe.  This chap is probbly in the same universe as the brewers of some of the beers that we sampled over the last few days in North Wales and the Black Country.  In my universe, Batham's and Ma Pardoe's, to name but two, are great breweries with lovely pubs and who also manage to charge quite low prices for their excellent beer, in all these respects, they are like the breweries in Franken.  

Now, I know that I'm a dinosaur (follows with the age, sadly) and I appreciate that people have to try new things (at one time or other, all the beers that I like were new) but many of the beers that I tried this weekend (during which I had a great time, from what I remember, apart from repeated playing of a certain team's  matches - BTW 100 points, 19 ahead of anyone, etc., etc.), tasted to me like some rather mediocre experiments in homebrewing.  But, then, I don't know anything about beer and brewing - just like all the happy punters in Brierley Hill and Netherton.

Just stuffing different hops into the brew does not make for a good beer - IMHO, of course.
