Known for a full range of styles

Bremen's brewing history gets a new chapter in the historic brick building of the Union Brewery in Walle, which Bremen innkeepers founded in 1907 and which stopped brewing in 1968. Newly founded in 2015, the Freie Brau Union has brewed there again since, with a 20-hectolitre stainless-steel brewhouse where the old one stood. Owner-managed and independent of any beverage group, it brews unfiltered, not heat-treated UNION beers for Bremen and its surroundings, plus seasonal specials.

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.
