Research Notes
- The brewery home page and menu page carry no beer list in text, so there is no beer url.
- Untappd spells the name Beeria (its URL slug reads cafe-de-beeria) and gives 5.5% ABV with no IBU; San Diego Beer News spells it Beería and says it had medaled at GABF before this result.
- BeerAdvocate has a listing for the beer but returned 403 and was not read.
- No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
- Researched 2026-10-13.
- Field pass 2026-10-13: Additional IBU, hop and brewery-domain searches found no verified missing field for Beería. The previously inaccessible BeerAdvocate page was not fetched again.
- Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery site was read; it has no Beería description.
