Spitalbrauerei Regensburg
The Spitalbrauerei in Regensburg is owned by the St. Katharinenspitalstiftung, a charitable foundation whose history dates to 1226, when Bishop Konrad IV granted the St. Katherine's Hospital its founding constitution. Brewing on the site is documented from 1238, when hospital residents received beer as a nightly allowance. The brewery describes itself as the world's oldest foundation brewery, with profits continuing to fund the foundation's nursing home and social services. The core range is traditional Bavarian: Spital Hell, Spital Dunkles, Festbier, Pils, and Weizen — the Hell and Dunkel each won a European Beer Star award (2011 and 2013 respectively).

The recurring character behind the beers
Drawn from all 8 beers in the catalogue.
Four notes carry across the range. That's a tight house style — most breweries in the catalogue share just one.
Their signature has to hold across very different styles — which makes the notes that do recur more telling, not less.
Across 8 beers in 6 style families, one trait still carries through — a broad range makes a shared signature harder to hold.
Spital Pale Ale
Their beers place in the Top 11% of the catalogue on average, across 8 ranked beers. Consistent rather than spiky — no single standout carrying the rest.
