Brauerei Friedmann
Brauerei Friedmann has brewed in Gräfenberg, at the southern edge of Franconian Switzerland, since Christoph Friedmann took over the former Heldsche Brauhaus in 1875. His son Georg moved production to the Jägersberg in the late 1920s, where the lagering cellars already lay, and Ludwig Friedmann built a new brewhouse after 1959. In 1982 Sigi Friedmann took charge as Germany's youngest female master brewer. The family house ferments in open vessels, bottles on site and sources malt and hops from the region.

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.
