Amstel Brouwerij
Amstel Brouwerij was founded in 1870 by Charles Antoine de Pesters, Johannes Hendrikus van Marwijk Kooy, and Willem Eduard Uhlenbroek on the Mauritskade in Amsterdam. The brewery takes its name from the river Amstel. Its first brew was completed in October 1871, and the brewery officially opened in January 1872. Amstel grew rapidly through the early twentieth century, accounting for a third of Dutch beer exports by 1926. In 1968 Heineken N.V. acquired the brewery, and in 1972 brewing at the Amsterdam site was transferred to Heineken's plant in Zoeterwoude.

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.
