Fidens Brewing Co.
Fidens Brewing Co. was founded in 2019 by Steve Parker and Tim Pierce in Colonie, a suburb just outside Albany in New York's Capital Region. The name, suggested by Parker's wife Raquel, comes from the Latin word for 'courageous.' The brewery quickly earned a national reputation for its hop-forward IPAs, accumulating nearly 400,000 Untappd check-ins and a cumulative rating of 4.38 — ranking it among the top ten breweries in the United States on that platform. With its original Colonie facility devoted entirely to production, Fidens later expanded by opening a brewpub in Albany's Warehouse District.

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.
The Farmer with Papaya
