1. Dampfbierbrauerei Zwiesel
Family brewery in Zwiesel in the Bavarian Forest. Wolfgang Pfeffer, trained as a brewmaster in Mainz, took over an older brewery on the town square and moved it in 1889 to its present site on Regener Straße. Its namesake is Dampfbier, a top-fermented amber beer from the founding years that still ferments in open vats and matures in cellars cut into the rock. Mark and Elisabeth Pfeffer run the house in the fifth generation; it includes a visitor brewery with a historic malt floor and, since 2009, a glass-walled brewhouse.

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.
