Research Notes

• Field pass 2026-10-13: Additional shop, hop and IBU searches found no new brewery beer page, numeric bitterness or named hop varieties.
• Second pass 2026-10-13: Found the commercial listing with ABV and a brewery description that explicitly identifies the GABF Pro-Am collaboration and Joe St. John. The missing exclamation mark in the listing does not obscure that match. IBU and named ingredients remain unpublished.
• The brewery home page, year-round lineup and beer finder do not mention Lunch Time!, the Pro-Am or the homebrewer.
• No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the description on file comes from Untappd and is not extended.
