Research Notes

• Field pass 2026-10-13: New Fireside Bar and O'Kane's search results name Icy Fog, but the opened pages did not expose that entry; no additional brewery beer url was verified.
• Second pass 2026-10-13: Found the matching Untappd recipe and a brewery archive naming Icy Fog. The published ABV is above the category guideline; no alternative recipe or confirmed competition batch specification was found. The archive names the beer but does not provide a dedicated beer page.
• The McMenamins beer and ales pages list standards and seasonals (including Lola's Hazy IPA) but not Icy Fog in the readable portion; both pages were truncated partway through the bottle and can releases, so a listing there cannot be ruled out.
• McMenamins brews at many pub locations; which one brewed Icy Fog was not found.
• No 2026 medal announcement was found.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the description on file comes from Untappd and is not extended.
