Brewery Context
Blind Tiger Brewery & Restaurant is in Topeka, KS.
The brewery site's on-tap and brewery pages render no beer text, and its menu PDFs mention only County Seat Wheat as a batter ingredient, so there is no beer url; specs come from the Untappd listing.
The brewery's awards page lists past medals (for example County Seat Wheat at GABF 2009 and 2010) but no hefeweizen award and nothing from 2026.
No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
Researched 2026-10-13.
Field pass 2026-10-13: Additional brewery-domain and ingredient searches found no named hop variety or qualifying beer page. A brewery merchandise PDF mentioning a hefeweizen glass does not establish the recipe.
Catalog.beer 2026-10-14: Catalog.beer: Hefeweizen lists 4.8% ABV, 17 IBU, style "Hefeweizen" (entry last modified 2026-08-18). Where it differs from the brewery's own published value, the brewery's value stands.
