Known for a full range of styles

Fässla has brewed in the same corner house on Obere Königstraße in Bamberg since 1649, when the brewer and cooper Hanß Lauer set up shop there; the building itself is on record as early as 1398. The master brewer Paul Lutz bought the business in 1898, and the Kalb family of brewers and maltsters took it over in 1986. Water comes from the brewery's own deep well, yeast from its own propagation, and the automated brewhouse makes about 50 hectolitres of wort per brew. The tavern with its street-side Schwemme and guest rooms share the building.

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.
