Geist Brewing
Bangalore's German-inspired craft brewery — founded in 2013 with a dedicated focus on authentic European styles in a city more used to adjunct lagers. Geist (German for 'spirit' or 'ghost') brews Hefeweizens, Dunkels and Pilsners with traditional German methods. In a city that's India's craft beer capital, Geist occupies a distinct niche: the brewery that went old-world European while everyone else went American craft.

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.
