While also maintaining their bottom line-as I alluded to based in the mention that the Tradition could be a strain specially grown for them-that in order to maintain it the hop grower may have gotten them to contract for their Herkules crop as well.

You're exactly right. We tend to think of these breweries as unchanging icons since they have been established and in business for literally hundreds of years. But at their core they are, after all, commercial enterprises.
It reminds me of what we used to say about the U.S. Navy: "240 years of Tradition totally unencumbered by Progress."
