Annafest this year 2015

I was merely paraphrasing what the article said, it mentions 'expired contracts' and the owners of the Kellers in question 'wanting something new'. I didn't mention rebellions :) I guess this refers to some sort of tie whereby the Kellers agree to take beer from e.g. Greif and in return they are given discount prices on beer and merchandise (decoration etc). Whilst each Festbier is perfectly fine the fact that they are all similar abv, pale and fairly standard makes them pretty similar to my taste, especially after 3 or 4 litres. To put it another way, I wouldn't go to the Annafest to drink more interesting beer than I can find in Bambergs surrounding countryside. This doesn't mean I don't love Annafest, just that the beer isn't the centre point for my visit. Having Mahr and Meister etc will give some vareity to the beer styles on offer, as I'm sure you agree.
