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.

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.
