Kapuziner
Kapuziner is the wheat-beer brand of Kulmbacher Brauerei and brews nothing but top-fermented Weißbier. The name goes back to the Kapuzinerbräu of nearby Mainleus, which became a public company in 1897, moved its brewing to Kulmbach in 1906 and closed in 1919; Mönchshof bought the name. After Reichelbräu and Mönchshof merged in 1984, it was revived for a joint wheat beer, first brewed in 1985 at the Mönchshof. Today the range covers seven wheat beers, from pale and dark to filtered, light and alcohol-free.

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.
