Research Notes

  • Field pass 2026-10-13: The previously cited brewery home page already names Buffalo Creek on its tap list, so it qualifies as beer url under this pass's fallback rule. No dedicated page, IBU or hop varieties were found.
  • The brewery site has no individual beer pages; it lists the beer only by name and style on its tap list, so the earlier pass left beer url empty.
  • ABV comes only from Untappd; the brewery publishes no ABV or IBU.
  • The Untappd listing notes the 2026 GABF gold; no separate brewery announcement was found.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the description on file comes from Untappd and is not extended.
