Higsons
Higsons was founded in Liverpool in 1780 and counts as part of the city's brewing heritage. The beer has been brewed at several places across town, and today it comes out of the Love Lane brewery in the Baltic Triangle, a former rubber factory. The range runs from a deep red-brown best bitter to a golden ale with Fuggles hops, plus a pale ale, a northern-style brown ale and an oatmeal stout that is mostly poured on cask.

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.
