Brauerei Fohrenburg
Brauerei Fohrenburg has brewed in Bludenz, in Austria's westernmost state of Vorarlberg, since Ferdinand Gassner founded it in 1881; the rearing unicorn on its label is taken from the town's coat of arms. Brewing water comes from two of the brewery's own wells in the Silvretta-Arlberg massif, and a house propagation plant keeps one bottom- and one top-fermenting yeast strain. The juice producer Rauch owned the brewery from 2000; since 2020 Brau Union Österreich, part of Heineken, has held the majority and now almost all shares.

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.
