Krug, Geisfeld

But, the fact that they open 16- isn't the reason they would close. They have obviously made a conscious decision based on turnover. It's a shame obviously but the fact is that people don't drink as much any more and are more inclined to drink at home - if you consider a case of beer costs c. 14€ that's quite a difference. Also, weekends  are good for tourists, but not necessarily locals. Weekdays are busier. 

To be honest I don't think the reason (I'm this case) had anything to do with "the accounts". Somewhere like Krug (and Geisfeld) has a lot of potential. The village is rich and it's close to the motorway, plus there are a lot of places nearby and it's near bamberg. It's not a gold mine, but I would say it's one of the best positioned. 

I guess we're all guessing to varying degrees, so they're just my thoughts.
