Tommie Sjef
Tommie Sjef calls itself a beer blendery: wild ales fermented and aged in oak barrels, all driven by the brewery's own wild yeast and bacteria culture, whose yeast base traces back to microorganisms collected in Den Helder. Everything is certified organic, aged six months to seven years, and bottles are blends of barrels of different ages. Tommie began in his parents' barn at nineteen; today hundreds of barrels rest in Den Helder.

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.
