		<description>&lt;i&gt;We talk about differences between the Northwest and the Northeast and argue about America’s best beer city (kind of silly if you let Portland, Oregon, participate).&lt;/i&gt;

Did you throw that in there just for me?  Well, in any case, I couldn&#039;t agree more.  (Take that, Denver!)</description>

		<description>Thanks, Ron. A reason I need to update that 1997 conversation.

Do you have numbers for Franconia?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;A good point about diacetyl. Americans can be bigots about D. Quite short-sighted.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

I love a little diacetyl in my ESB, not so sure about it in my Helles or Okto, though.</description>

		<description>The number of breweries in Germany is not declining. It&#039;s been remarkably constant over recent years. Between 1994 and 2006 it varied between 1,234 and 1,298. In the last year I have figures for, 2006, the number was 1,284.

Brewpub openings are about exactly cancelling out the closures of mid-size breweries. The industry is being polarised between very small and very large breweries.</description>

		<description>I returned from six days in Hamburg and Cologne last summer and could not find anything resembling a craft brewery, just the uniformly delicious products of large breweries (except Astra Pils- not so delicious).

There was, however, one exception. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.brauhaus-joh-albrecht.de/data/index.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Brauhaus Joh. Albrecht,&lt;/a&gt; a Gordon Biersch-like brewpub chain brings their take on Bavarian styles to the center and north of Germany. The beer is excellent, worthy of Munich, and the &lt;i&gt;Schweinehaxen&lt;/i&gt; are dead-on authentic too!

This is a very American-style operation. I think Germany&#039;s saving grace might be to pay more attention to how the craft beer business has struggled to life and thrived in the USA.</description>

Thank you, Stan. An opinion I&#039;ve had for years. Decades, actually.</description>

		<description>You get a lot of weird looks in most of Germany if you insist on trying different beers from the same place.  Franconia is an honourable exception, where we&#039;ve seen a number of places do &quot;tasting platters&quot; (and where we&#039;re not the only weirdos trying them)

But you do get the impression in a lot of Germany (and I would include most of Bavaria in this) that beer is a staple, like bread - essential to everyday life, but not something you talk about, blog about or even mess around with that much once you&#039;ve found your favourite.

Stan, on your last point - is more diacetyl such a bad thing?  I know the style guidelines say it&#039;s a bad thing in lager, but the best lagers I&#039;ve had have been in Franconia, and they&#039;ve been so good because of these minor &quot;imperfections&quot;.  They taste fresh and interesting.  Could be my tolerance for diacetyl flavours from drinking real ale for years.</description>

		<description>Steve - I&#039;m certainly looking forward to drinking in Bavaria this fall, but I also know that Franconia has lost its share of small breweries. 

I recently had a conversation with a brewing industry member who said he prefers Franconia to Belgium, BUT he also came home with the impression that olders brewers were less careful (more diacetyl, for instance) and that often smaller family operations were on their last generation.</description>
