Brasserie Duyck
Founded in 1922 by Félix Duyck in Jenlain, near Valenciennes — France's second-largest independent brewery. Credited with single-handedly reviving the bière de garde style. The Jenlain Ambrée was the first beer bottled in 750ml champagne-style corked bottles (1949). Discovered by Lille students in the late 1960s and became France's defining craft beer of the 70s–80s. Now run by the 5th generation (Mathieu Duyck since 2013). Produces 100,000 HL/year.

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.
