Würzburger Hofbräu
Founded in 1643 by Main-Franconian Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Schönborn, Würzburger Hofbräu is the oldest company still operating in Würzburg; the founder's crown still tops the brewer's star in its logo. Since 1882 the brewery has stood at the foot of the Marienberg Fortress, brewing with its own well water. Besides Pilsner, Hell and Kiliani Festbier, its range includes the Keiler and Sternla beers; its Alter Kranen tavern sits right on the Main.

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.
