Research Notes
- The brewery's own tap list page loads its beers dynamically and showed none; the beer was found on the brewery's taplist.io digital menu.
- Colorado Brewery List's record of the brewery's beers does not include Friend of the Devil.
- No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
- Researched 2026-10-13.
- Field pass 2026-10-13: The iPourIt brewery directory names Friend of the Devil and supplies the bitterness above, but no hop varieties or brewery beer page. Its 5.1% ABV conflicts with the retained 5.5% from the brewery digital menu; the directory may describe a different batch.
- Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery site was read; it has no Friend of the Devil description.
