Pivovar Primátor brews in Náchod in north-eastern Bohemia, where the town's burghers held brewing rights as early as 1495. The present brewery was founded in 1872 and released its first beer in 1873; the Primátor name dates from 1935, when it was first used for a new dark 12° lager. After decades in municipal hands, the town sold the brewery in 2009 to the Liberec investment group LIF. Wort ferments in open vessels and matures for weeks in the lager cellar, and the range runs from Czech lagers to very strong specials and top-fermented ales.

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.
