Research Notes
Field pass 2026-10-13: C.B. & Potts menu names Nugget, Cascade and Willamette for Buttface Amber, but does not establish the current RAM competition recipe; hops remain unverified.
Specs and description come from the Tacoma location's menu page; there is no individual beer page.
The menu entry carries a "2024 GABF Silver Medal" note beside the beer, an earlier award; no 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
