"It strikes me as a cynical way to make money". Now you sound like Barry.  Is there a non cynical way to make money?  Breweries like any other business need to make money as much as possible.  If people don't want the product they won't pay for it.  I know one thing for sure and that is that the traditional franconian breweries aren't charging enough for their product and this in one big thing that has led to the massive attrition that we've seen.  They can't afford to upgrade their equipment, keep people employed, etc. because the money they are making on their product doesn't allow them to.  So I'm not going to begrudge a new "craft" brewery or even older brewery getting into brewing these styles for charging an extra euro or two for the seidla.  They probably have to in order to be a viable, healthy, profitable business.  I think maybe some of us on this forum have become cynical not the brewers.
