Research Notes

• The German parent's site says "Brewer and local hero Cord Broyhan developed his top-fermented beer in 1526"; it does not mention a Broyhan's Bock, so the link between the beer's name and Cord Broyhan is an inference.
• Inside Beer reports the Charlotte site is owned by TCB Beverages and planned six on site beers, including an Urbock; whether Broyhan's Bock is related to that Urbock is unknown.
• The guessed domains gildebrewery.com and gildebrewing.com returned empty pages, so no brewery url is recorded. Brewbound and WCNC articles about the opening returned HTTP 403. Open Brewery DB has no entry.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Second pass 2026-10-13: Located the Charlotte brewery's working site, exact beer listing, ABV and style. The Hanover Broyhan-Bock and imported Urbock are separate listings and were excluded; no IBU or hop varieties were found.
• Field pass 2026-10-13: No new Charlotte-specific source published IBU or named hops; the Hanover Broyhan-Bock is excluded as a different beer.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery tap list's flavor words are recorded as tasting notes; it names no malts, hops or yeast.
