Privatbrauerei Moritz Fiege
Moritz Fiege is a family brewery in the centre of Bochum, run today by the fifth and sixth generations of the family. Its roots go back to 1736, when an ancestor ran a tavern and distillery on Beckstraße. After brewing rights were granted in 1876, Johann Wilhelm Knühl-Fiege mashed the first brew, a sweet beer, in February 1878. The breakthrough came in 1926 with a Pilsner-style beer. Destroyed in the Second World War and rebuilt afterwards, the brewery ferments its beers with a house lager yeast from its own culture.

The recurring character behind the beers

Four notes carry across the range. That's a tight house style — most breweries in the catalogue share just one.
Everything sits in one family — which makes the comparison below the interesting part. It isn't what they brew that sets them apart, but how.
Across 12 beers in 3 style families, one trait still carries through — a broad range makes a shared signature harder to hold.
