Research Notes

• The brewery has no individual page for this beer; its beer list is the beer url and notes that not every listed beer is on tap at any time.
• The home page's embedded Instagram posts mention the 2026 GABF bronze for Central Time IPA.
• The brewery's Untappd beer list was read but its first page did not include Central Time IPA, so no Untappd specs were found.
• A plain fetch of the brewery site later returned HTTP 511, so quoted text could not be rechecked character by character.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Field pass 2026-10-13: A July 2026 Isthmus article explicitly names Third Space Central Time IPA and quotes co-owner Andy Gehl identifying the three hops recorded above. No verified IBU was found; Driftless Brewing's same-named farmhouse IPA is unrelated and its recipe is excluded.
• Catalog.beer 2026-10-14: Catalog.beer: Central Time IPA lists 6% ABV, style "IPA" (entry last modified 2026-08-03). Where it differs from the brewery's own published value, the brewery's value stands.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery site's text is about the idea behind the beer, not its flavor.
