Brauerei Schlüssel
Brewpub on Bolkerstraße in Düsseldorf's Altstadt, where the house is first recorded in 1632. In 1850 the baker Jakob Schwenger bought the building and began brewing; the tavern took the name Zum Schlüssel in 1913, after the custom of keeping the city-gate key in a neighbouring inn. The Gatzweiler family, brewers from Neuss, took over in 1936 and still own it. The Altbier is fermented open with the house yeast, left unpasteurised and poured in the tap room from 100-litre wooden casks.

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.
