Dr. Fritz Briem
Dr. Fritz Briem is not a brewery in the conventional sense but a historic beer label created by Professor Fritz Briem, former technology director at the Doemens Institute in Gräfelfing, with beers produced at Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan in Freising. The project centres on a 'Historic Signature Series' that recreates nearly extinct or ancient beer styles from scholarly recipes. Two flagship releases are the '13th Century Grut Bier', a medieval herb-spiced ale made without hops, and the '1809 Berliner Weisse', brewed using a traditional no-boil process with lactic acid bacteria. The beers are exported internationally through importer B. United International.

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.
1809 Berliner Weisse
Their beers place in the Top 65% of the catalogue on average, across 4 ranked beers. One clear standout well ahead of the rest.
