Cölner Hofbräu Früh
Cölner Hofbräu Früh goes back to 1904, when Peter Josef Früh opened a brewhouse with an attached tavern at Am Hof, a few steps from Cologne Cathedral. The family still runs the business in its fifth generation and brews to the founder's original recipe. Rising demand pushed production out of the old town in the 1980s to a brewery in Köln-Feldkassel, while the historic Brauhaus Früh am Dom remains the company's public face. Früh first bottled its Kölsch in 1969 and has carried the Slow Brewing seal since 2014.

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.
