Bomonti Bira
Turkey's oldest beer brand with a century of brewing history — Bomonti Bira was originally founded in 1893 in the Istanbul neighbourhood of Bomonti by two Austrian brothers, Karl and Josef Bomonti, making it the first industrial brewery in the Ottoman Empire. The historic Bomonti brewery in Şişli was closed in 1969 and the building was converted into a cultural venue. The brand was revived by Anadolu Efes in 2012, producing an unfiltered and filtered range positioned as a premium heritage brand for the Istanbul craft beer market.

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.
