Research Notes
- The brewery domain (solanobrew.com) was found through the Visit Vacaville directory; solanobrewingco.com does not resolve.
- The home page and Our Beers page show Mama Rosa only as label images (files uploaded in 2026), with no style, ABV or description in the page text.
- Untappd and web searches found no listing; the only other Mama Rosa results were an unrelated Texas rosé wine.
- Researched 2026-10-13.
- Field pass 2026-10-13: The matching Solano listing publishes 24 IBU and no named hop varieties. Its ABV header says 10%, while its brewer description says 10.5%; ABV remains null because the same page conflicts.
- Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery beer page renders no readable beer text.
- 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, web searches): found nothing new; 1 page tried. Beer page shows only an image labelled Mama Rosa; searches found nothing on the beer.
