Riedenburger Brauhaus
Riedenburger Brauhaus is a family brewery in Riedenburg in Bavaria's Altmühl valley, owned by the Krieger family since 1756 and run today by Maximilian Krieger in the eighth generation. Once known across the region for its wheat beer, it became Bavaria's first fully organic brewery in 1994. It brews under Bioland certification, uses the ancient grains emmer, einkorn and spelt alongside barley and wheat, and leaves its beers unfiltered. Output is around 30,000 hectolitres a year. A new brewhouse designed to run without fossil fuels is being built on the existing site.

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.
