Research Notes

  • Field pass 2026-10-13: Targeted bitterness and ingredient searches found no IBU or hop varieties for Pineapple 3 Way beyond the previously recorded brewery menu.
  • The first pass encountered a failed domain and TLS errors. This pass read the menu on bullandbush.com, establishing the brewery domain, although the home page still timed out.
  • The web search budget ran out before Untappd or press could be searched.
  • The winners listing at American Craft Beer confirms the gold.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Second pass 2026-10-13: The accessible brewery menu explicitly ties its 55th Anniversary Ale Pineapple 3 Way to the 2026 GABF award, resolving the longer release name. Added strength, style, pineapple preparation and barrel details; hops, grist, yeast and IBU remain unpublished.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the bottle menu gives all three pineapple treatments and 6.60% ABV.
