Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for Belgian-Style Flanders Oud Bruin or Oud Red Ale calls for 4.8 to 6.6 percent ABV, 5 to 18 IBU and 12 to 25 SRM, with a complex, vinous character and refreshing acidity. The published strength fits that range; bitterness remains unverified.

Research Notes

• Field pass 2026-10-13: Targeted searches produced no new exact-name IBU or hop source. The shorter Flanders listing remains unconfirmed as an alias, as recorded in the previous pass.
• The brewery's beer catalog lists six Barrelworks beers and none is this one; a guessed beer page URL returned 404.
• The Barrelworks page is an article, not a beer list, and does not name this beer; the old firestonebeer.com Barrelworks URL redirects to firestonewalker.com.
• The web search budget ran out before Untappd or press could be searched; this may be a taproom-only release.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Second pass 2026-10-13: The brewery's 2026 collection explicitly lists Flanders Red Ale and its strength. Untappd's shorter name Flanders was not established as an alias, so its IBU was not transferred. No ingredients were found.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the Barrelworks page has no Flanders Red Ale description.
