Gentse Gruut Stadsbrouwerij
Founded in April 2009 by Annick De Splenter, Gruut is Ghent's most unique brewery — it brews all its beers entirely without hops, using instead a secret blend of medieval herbs called gruut as used in Belgium before the 13th century. The result is a range of five distinctive ales that taste unlike anything else in Belgian brewing. Located in a brewpub on the Dodoensdreef, with brewery tours available by reservation.

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.
