I'm not sure what, if any, influence CAMRA had on the rise in US micro's.  I hadn't even hear of CAMRA until the US micro boom was well underway.  I know what the major difference between the micro explosion in the US is compared to Franconian and that difference is that the movement in the US is very much driven by the enthusiasm and passion of the younger generations (younger than me anyhow).  I see a lot of breweries even just here in Mass. alone that have sprung up that are operated and in many cases owned by men and women in their 30's and sometimes even 20's.  The same can be said of their customer base.  It's a very young, energetic, and thriving industry right now.  Whereas in Franconia it is mostly aging and declining and there doesn't seem to be, from what I can tell, a lot of youthful enthusiasm being injected into the brewing industry over there.  I mean the guy at Hertlein, even though he passed away, was fairly young for a brewmeister in Franconia and he was already 50!

Yeah it's sad to see the gradual decline of these amazing breweries in Franconia but I fear that if the younger generations are not going to pick up the torch then it's doomed to continue to decline.

Yeah I agree it's imperative for us visitors to get out and see these places before their gone.  Sadly, I did not get a chance to visit Hertlein.  But then again there are many that I have not had a chance to visit yet.  Each visit I get out to 2 or 3 more.  But in reality I'm not going to catch them all before their gone by visiting 10-15 days out of a year.
