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.

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.
Spital Pale Ale
Their beers place in the Top 15% of the catalogue on average, across 8 ranked beers. Consistent rather than spiky — no single standout carrying the rest.
