TurbinenBräu
Founded in 1997 to fill the void left when Hürlimann closed in 1996 as Zürich's last major brewery. Named after the turbine factory of Sulzer-Escher-Wyss that previously occupied the site in the Industriequartier. Zürich's largest brewery supplying approximately 100 gastronomy businesses. Philosophy: fresh, unpasteurized beer with short distribution chains — bottled every week, no preservatives needed.

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.
