Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guidelines page read for this run lists Wood- and Barrel-Aged Sour Beer and refers to "several Wood- and Barrel-Aged Beers" for elevated alcohol entries of 8 percent ABV and above, but no standalone entry for a non-sour Wood- and Barrel-Aged Beer of normal strength was found on it. With no published specs, fit cannot be assessed.

Research Notes

• Amber Hearth does not appear on the brewery's on tap now page or menu as read, and the site's own content search returned nothing for "hearth" or "amber".
• A web search summary of the brewery's BeerAdvocate profile (https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/60152/) listed Amber Hearth as a Winter Warmer at 5.9% ABV, last rated February 2025; that page returned HTTP 403 and could not be read, so neither value is used above.
• No 2026 medal announcement was found on the brewery's site.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Second pass 2026-10-13: The individual BeerAdvocate page is now readable, confirming the listed ABV. Current medal coverage identifies the beer as an oak aged winter warmer. No IBU, hop varieties or dedicated brewery beer page were found.
• Field pass 2026-10-13: New searches found medal coverage but no numerical IBU, named hops or brewery beer page for Amber Hearth; previously read Fort Mill Sun and BeerAdvocate sources were not repeated.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery site was read again; it has no Amber Hearth description.
