Brauerei Beck & Co.
Founded on 27 June 1873 as Kaiserbrauerei Beck & May on the Weser dyke in Bremen's Neustadt by builder Lüder Rutenberg, brewer Heinrich Beck and merchant Thomas May. From the start the brewery shipped its pilsner overseas, and its beer won a gold medal at the 1876 World Exhibition in Philadelphia. In 1981 it merged with Haake-Beck, whose regional beers are still brewed on the same site. Interbrew bought the family-owned company in 2001; today it belongs to AB InBev and exports to around 120 countries.

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.
Beck's Pils
Their beers place in the Top 18% of the catalogue on average, across 6 ranked beers. Consistent rather than spiky — no single standout carrying the rest.
