Flensburger Brauerei
Flensburger Brauerei was founded on 6 September 1888 by five local merchants as the Flensburger Export-Brauerei and merged in 1919 with the older Actien-Brauerei in the same town. The Petersen family bought in during the 1920s, and their descendants, the Dethleffsen-Petersen family, still hold the majority, so the brewery belongs to no group. It brews at Munketoft 12 in Flensburg, close to the Danish border, using water from its own glacial spring and coastal barley from Schleswig-Holstein, and exports to around 35 countries.

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.
