Research Notes

• The brewery home page returned no readable content and guessed beer list paths returned 404, so there is no beer url and the brewery's own description was not read.
• The retailer product is titled "Claremont Pepper & Peaches IPA 4pk 16oz Can".
• A search snippet attributed to the Claremont Courier said the beer won the experimental IPA category at the 2025 World Beer Cup; that article was not opened, so the claim is unverified.
• Web search was unavailable for part of this session, so Untappd and press listings were not checked for IBU.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Field pass 2026-10-13: The brewery's own Squarespace beer list names Pepper & Peaches and is used as beer url because no dedicated page was found. No IBU is published.
• Catalog.beer 2026-10-14: Catalog.beer: Pepper & Peaches lists 6.7% ABV, style "American-Style India Pale Ale" (entry last modified 2020-05-02). Where it differs from the brewery's own published value, the brewery's value stands.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the retailer copy of the brewery description gives the tasting words; no IBU, malts or yeast.
