Privatbrauerei Ketterer
Privatbrauerei Ketterer was founded in 1877 when the young Michael Ketterer purchased the small inn brewery known as Zum Felsen in Hornberg in the Black Forest, despite considerable local scepticism. After Michael Ketterer's death in 1925, his sons Emil and Albert took over and expanded the business. Today the brewery, formally named Familienbrauerei M. Ketterer GmbH & Co. KG, operates in the Ortenaukreis district of Baden-Württemberg and produces a range of beers from Ketterer Pils to a Black Forest Stout.

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.
Ketterer Pils
Their beers place in the Top 6% of the catalogue on average, across 7 ranked beers. Consistent rather than spiky — no single standout carrying the rest.
