Friesisches Brauhaus zu Jever
Friesisches Brauhaus zu Jever goes back to Diedrich König, who began selling bottled beer in the Frisian town of Jever in 1848, when more than twenty small breweries operated in the area. From 1867 Theodor Fetköter expanded the business and laid a pipeline to a spring four kilometres outside town that still supplies the brewing water. After passing through a Hamburg brewing group and Brau und Brunnen, the brewery has belonged to the Radeberger Gruppe since 2004. Its soft, low-lime water allows a heavier hop dose, the basis of the dry, bitter pilsener sold under that name since 1934.

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.
