Pivovar Protivín
Brewing in Protivín is documented from 1540, and the Schwarzenberg princes owned the brewery from 1711 for more than two centuries. Their 1870s brewery, built down a slope to follow the flow of brewing, still brews in copper kettles with an unusual square wort pan. The beers carry the name Platan after the triple plane-tree avenue leading to the gate. Water from its own wells, Žatec hops, its own yeast; part of Pivovary Lobkowicz since 2008.

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.
