Research Notes

• The brewery's GABF 2026 news post confirms the bronze, names pilot brewer Jeff Metz (his fourth GABF medal in three years) and credits can art to Patrick Yagow.
• Tow The Lime has no page in the brewery's beer list, so beer url is null.
• ABV, IBU, hops, malts and yeast are not published on any page read.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Field pass 2026-10-13: The matching Untappd listing publishes 4.7% ABV and N/A IBU, with no named hops. A targeted brewery domain search found only the previously recorded medal post and home page; no additional brewery beer or tap list page was found.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery's medal post is the only brewery text; a web search found no hop, malt, yeast or IBU detail.
• Brewery site scrape 2026-10-14: found nothing new; 7 pages tried (robots.txt obeyed, one request every few seconds per host).
• Second deep dive pass 2026-10-14 (brewery news post and beer list re-read, web searches): found nothing new; 2 pages tried. Nothing new. The medal post only repeats the filled description; the beer list does not include Tow The Lime. Note: the post says the beer was canned for the first time in 2026.
