Style Context

A rye ale with Anaheim chiles fits that definition.

Research Notes
- The brewery site sits behind an age gate; its beers page loads the list by script and showed no beer names, so beer url is null.
- Conflict: BeerMenus entry 87091 says Spiced Beer, 6.0%, "American rye ale brewed with chilies"; entry 77810 says Double IPA, 7.1%, "American rye ale brewed with Anaheim chiles". Neither is dated, so abv is left null.
- Researched 2026-10-13.
- Field pass 2026-10-13: The brewery's Untappd beer list publishes 7.1% ABV for a light blonde ale with jalapeños and N/A IBU, without named hops. This differs from the existing BeerMenus 6.0% chili rye ale and 7.1% Anaheim chile rye descriptions; ABV remains null because the formulations are unresolved. No brewery beer or tap list page was found.
- Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery beer page was read again and does not list Pyro's Prost.
- Brewery site scrape 2026-10-14: found nothing new; 4 pages tried (robots.txt obeyed, one request every few seconds per host).
- Second deep dive pass 2026-10-14 (brewery site (several pages), web searches): found nothing new; 5 pages tried. Brewery pages carry no beer details. A third party menu site (beermenus, not used as a source) lists 'American rye ale brewed with chilies' at 6.0% ABV in one entry and 7.1% in another, so ABV was not recorded as it is not the brewery's statement.
