Elysian Brewing
Founded in 1995/96 by Dick Cantwell, Joe Bisacca, and Dave Buhler on Capitol Hill, Elysian quickly became a Seattle institution for fearless, hop-forward, often slightly weird beers — three-time Large Brewpub of the Year winner at the Great American Beer Festival. Their Space Dust IPA, born from a 2012 limited series, became one of the best-selling IPAs in the country. Acquired by AB InBev in 2015, Elysian remains a fixture of Seattle's beer scene with five neighborhood locations.

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.
