Sorry Nick, you're at it again!  If we're talking about British English (don't know about any other variety), no native speaker (except, perhaps readers of this Forum) would ever say either 'Franconian Beer' and certainly not 'frankisches Bier'!  See my comment to Gunnar: they would simply use the name of the place of origin as an adjective because we don't have a common adjective to describe things from Franken.  

And you can take 'Barryese' as gospel because I am a native speaker!
