Film „Aus Tradition Neues - Bierstadt Bamberg“

Thanks Gerhard, an interesting video. I must say personally that the concept of 'craft beer' is the most ambiguous and confusing phrase which is creating all sorts of misunderstandings for just about all new comers to the world of beer, as well as established ones. It doesn't even have an official definition and seemingly has no boundaries. For Brewers, it's a marketing cash cow that they can slap on any old beer in the hope of fooling the consumer into believing they are buying a superior product. There is so much ignorance in the public around the brewing industry which is being abused by terms like this. In Britain it's a way of circumnavigating the term real ale - allowing Brewers to target a younger and more cash rich generation (and therefore price their products accordingly). 

Why can't beer be called beer, and the public be allowed to make up its own mind whether each example is to their taste and worthy of accolade. I was hoping to escape all this nonsense in Bamberg but it's clearly making in-roads in this bastion of tradition. Give me a vollbier any day.
