Paulaner traces its origins to the Minim friars who began brewing in Munich's Neudeck monastery in 1634. The monks created the Salvator Doppelbock as a liquid bread substitute during Lent — every Doppelbock ending in -ator is named in its honour. Today Paulaner is one of the six breweries licensed to serve at the Munich Oktoberfest and the world's leading Hefeweizen brand, exporting to over 70 countries. The brewery moved to a modern new facility in Langwied in 2016, with the historic Zacherlbau in Au serving as headquarters.

Drawn from all 14 beers in the catalogue.
Four notes carry across the range. That's a tight house style — most breweries in the catalogue share just one.
Their signature has to hold across very different styles — which makes the notes that do recur more telling, not less.
Across 14 beers in 4 style families, one trait still carries through — a broad range makes a shared signature harder to hold.
Their beers place in the Top 16% of the catalogue on average, across 14 ranked beers. Consistent rather than spiky — no single standout carrying the rest.
