Brauerei Herforder
Herforder is the beer brand of the former Felsenkeller brewery, founded in 1878 by the brothers Gustav and Georg Uekermann in Schweicheln. The village belongs to the municipality of Hiddenhausen, not to the town of Herford whose name it carries. The company adopted the Herforder name in 2006 and joined the Warsteiner group a year later. The last batch in Hiddenhausen was brewed in June 2026; the beers are now made in Warstein, and the brand says the original recipes are kept.

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.
