Wolfshöher
Wolfshöher is a family brewery in Neunkirchen am Sand in Middle Franconia, east of Nuremberg. The Wolf family built it in 1872; in 1882 the Nuremberg brewer Jean Weber bought it out of bankruptcy, and his family now runs it in the fourth generation. In the late 1970s it was the first brewery in northern Bavaria to fill kegs, and it later took over Brauhaus Forchheim and the Fröhlich brewery. Hops come from the Hallertau and Hersbruck, malt from Franconia, the Altmühltal and the Upper Palatinate, water from a 125-metre well.

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.
