Brauhaus Riegele is one of Germany's oldest breweries, with origins traced to a brewery called 'Zum Goldenen Ross' founded in Augsburg in 1386. In 1884 Sebastian Riegele acquired the brewery, and the Riegele family grew the business substantially in the early twentieth century. Today the brewery is operated by the Priller family in the 28th generation of family ownership, producing a wide range of craft and traditional beers that have won prizes at the European Beer Star and World Beer Cup. Brauhaus Riegele has attracted international attention through collaborations such as an Oktoberfest beer with Sierra Nevada Brewing Company.

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.
