Privatbrauerei Hösl
The Privatbrauerei Hösl traces its origins to the Gambrinus brewery founded in Mitterteich in 1870, located in the Stiftland region of the Upper Palatinate. On 1 February 1906, Michael Hösl senior took over the establishment, and due to naming disputes with a Gambrinus brewery in Weiden, the business was renamed Hösl-Bräu in 1930. The brewery has remained in family hands across multiple generations, with Hans Hösl taking over in 1947 and his sons Michael and Maximilian succeeding him on 1 January 1985. The brewery expanded its range in 1972 with the introduction of wheat beer production.

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.
