Research Notes
- The brewery has no individual beer pages; its beer page is the beer url and labels the beer with the category English-Style Brown Ale.
- Web searches turned up no ABV or IBU on BeerAdvocate, Untappd or press; results were for other breweries' nut brown ales.
- The web search budget ran out during this batch, so no further third party sources (Untappd, retailers) could be searched.
- No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
- Researched 2026-10-13.
- Field pass 2026-10-13: The exact Blackstone Untappd listing supplies strength and bitterness, but no hop variety was verified.
- Catalog.beer 2026-10-14: Catalog.beer: Nut Brown Ale lists 5.6% ABV, 23 IBU, style "English-Style Brown Ale" (entry last modified 2020-05-02). Where it differs from the brewery's own published value, the brewery's value stands.
- Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery beer page names the beer in its awards list only.
