Brinkhoff's Brauerei
Brauerei Brinkhoff carries the lineage of the Dortmunder Union brewery, which grew out of Wilhelm Struck's small brewery and was incorporated in 1873. Its namesake, Fritz Brinkhoff, was Union's first brewmaster and helped establish the pale Dortmund beer type. The company took its current name in 2002 and belongs to the Radeberger Gruppe. The range centres on a single pils, joined by an alcohol-free version, and the brand has been Borussia Dortmund's stadium beer since 2008.

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.
