German craft brewer's opinions on Franconian beer scene

Sorry, I can't really say. I would guess that perhaps some local (German) customers found the tastes too strong, so the brewers watered it down. Or  as the one brewer told me "the Americans say..." Meaning that some brewers do read RateBeer and Beer Advocate. Many years ago when I tasted the "authentic Gose" at the Berlin Beer Festival, some American friends of mine were there and really disliked it.

There are loads of old German beer styles that have disappeared over the years and RateBeer and Beer Advocate didn't exist at that time.
