Brauerei Göss
Founded in 1860 on the site of the dissolved Göss Abbey in Leoben, Styria — where nuns had brewed beer since 1459. Now part of Brau Union (Heineken). Austria's largest individual brewery. Uses natural spring water from the Steirisches Raurisbachtal catchment area, Austrian barley, and Celeja aromatic hops from Leutschach. The Gösser Märzen accounts for over 70% of total output. First Austrian brewery to use crown caps on bottles (1935).

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.
