Vulkan Brauerei
Mendig once counted 28 breweries, drawn by the cool basalt quarries that served as fermenting and storage cellars; Vulkan Brauerei is the one left. It dates back to 1875, still stores special beers in rock cellars cut into basalt, and brews organic only: Bioland barley and hops, over 90 percent of raw materials from the Eifel, local water treated in its own plant, organic yeast partly from its own pure culture. Every beer is unfiltered.

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.
