Brewery DNA

The recurring character behind the beers

San Miguel Brewery brew within a single family — the differences sit in how, not what.

Signature · 6 beers
Lager 5Wheat Beer 1

Across these 6 beers, 4 notes keep showing up:

malty
4 of 6 beers
smooth
4 of 6 beers
light
4 of 6 beers
refreshing
4 of 6 beers

Four notes carry across the range. That's a tight house style — most breweries in the catalogue share just one.

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.
