Research Notes

  • The brewery's beer page lists the beer as Starway Stout; the home page lists a stout among year-round styles without naming it, so availability is not recorded.
  • The domain barrelmountain.com redirects to a domain marketplace and is not the brewery.
  • No 2026 medal announcement was found.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery beer list gives tasting words, 6.6% ABV, 35 IBU, its malts and Willamette hops.
