Research Notes

• The brewery's beer page lists year round, seasonal and other fermentations but not Buzz Box, and a site search for the name returned only unrelated pages.
• The domain upp.beer does not resolve, and a guessed Untappd brewery page returned HTTP 404; BeerMenus search found nothing.
• The web search budget for this session ran out before a press or Untappd search specific to this beer could be run.
• No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Second pass 2026-10-13: Found matching specifications and the honey variety on UPP's Untappd beer list. No dedicated brewery page or hop varieties were found.
• Field pass 2026-10-13: A hop and menu focused search excluding the previously recorded Untappd source found competition coverage but no brewery beer page or hop varieties.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery site search returns only blog posts, none describing Buzz Box beyond its Ulmo honey.
• 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 (press quoting the brewery; search aimed at social captions, release news, local press): found nothing new; 9 pages tried. Nothing new for the empty fields. Food & Wine (via AOL) calls Buzz Box a honey tart ale, but that is press wording, not a brewery description, and no ABV, hops, yeast or process was found; Bend Source and New School Beer coverage of the GABF win does not describe the recipe. Second round: searches aimed at a can or release post, a taproom menu PDF and brewer interviews, plus the Beer and Brewing podcast page, found no Buzz Box mention (the Bend Source GABF recap and the UPP podcast name other beers only).
