Aktienbrauerei Kaufbeuren
Aktienbrauerei Kaufbeuren traces its brewing back to a document of 1308 and is the last of Kaufbeuren's historic breweries. The present site dates from 1807, when a beer cellar was built in the Tänzelhölzchen; the house became a joint stock company in 1885 and merged with the Löwen-Brauerei E. Wiedemann in 1907. Its shares trade on the Munich exchange, while the brewing business sits in a separate operating company majority-owned by the British group ROK Stars. The beers follow the Bavarian purity law and are sold across the Allgäu and Swabia, and abroad under the ABK label.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
Spezialbier Edel
Their beers place in the Top 34% of the catalogue on average, across 14 ranked beers. Consistent rather than spiky — no single standout carrying the rest.
