Fränkisches Bierfest - Nürnberg

It's simpler in German, conserving a word: "ein Bier gebraut nach fränkischer Art" "a beer brewed in the Franconian style" Prepositions are always fun. We usually think of "nach" as "after" in a time sense or "to" in a destination sense --specifically to a town, city, state, or country-- but it's also "according to", i.e. "nach dem Reinheitsgebot" or "nach Pilsener Art", where "Art" is type/style/kind. (And nach ALWAYS brings on the dative!) I'd certainly like to know if there's another way.
