John Smith's
The original Tadcaster brewery in North Yorkshire was founded in 1758, and John Smith's acquired it in 1847. Today the brand is part of the Heineken UK beer portfolio, where it is the second biggest brand, and the brewery has 4,000 solar panels. Making a John Smith's takes around two to three weeks, the magnet symbol stands for strength and attraction, and the beer is exported to Spain and the Canary Islands.

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.
