Oso Brew Co
Oso Brew Co was founded in Madrid in 2018 by David Ross and Patrick Tuck, two Britons who had met there as students; oso means bear, the animal on the city's coat of arms. The first batches, a table beer and a citrus cream ale, were sold from a market stall, and the bar La Osita on Cava Baja followed in 2019. Until 2024 the beers were brewed under contract. In September 2024 the company opened its own brewery with a taproom in Alcobendas, north of Madrid, partly financed by crowdfunding. The range centres on hazy, hop-led ales around a small core of lighter beers.

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.
