Known for German Pilsner

A family-run, non-corporate brewery in Bad Blankenburg, Thuringia, built around regionality. The malting barley comes from local farmers, and the origin of water, hops and barley is the brewers' top priority. The cycle closes at the farm: the spent grains go to regional dairy farmers as fodder. The range runs from Pils and Hell to Schwarzbier, plus a wheat beer brewed with the Arnstadt city brewery.

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.
