Research Notes
- The brewery home page shows a can captioned as a porter from the brewery but names no Baltic Porter; the beer menu page says it is "Powered by Live Tap Lists" with no readable list.
- The domain riversiderhapsodybeer.com (from the brewery's contact email) redirects to riversiderhapsody.com.
- A web search for the brewery with "Baltic Porter" returned only other breweries' Baltic porters.
- Open Brewery DB has no entry for the brewery.
- Researched 2026-10-13.
- Second pass 2026-10-13: Untappd, ABV and BeerMenus searches found mentions but no verified specifications. The Stout Week result's porter figures belong to Kronan at The Bier Garden, not Riverside Rhapsody's Baltic Porter, and were excluded.
- Field pass 2026-10-13: Retailer-focused searches yielded no matching ABV, IBU, brewery beer page or named hops; previous Untappd and BeerMenus searches were not repeated.
- Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery site was read again; it has no Baltic Porter description.
