Research Notes

• Field pass 2026-10-13: The previously cited Liberty Station draft list names Stone Lifeblood and qualifies as beer url; no dedicated product page was found. The Lifeblurred product page names Cascade for the separate imperial beer, so that hop was not transferred.
• Stone has no product page for Lifeblood; several older Stone event pages for the beer turned up in search but now return 404, so the earlier pass left beer url empty. One of those archived event pages appeared in search with a different ABV that could not be opened to verify.
• The draft list names Stone Liberty Station in San Diego as the brewer, while the official results list Paso Robles; both are recorded as given.
• The Brewer reports a 2023 World Beer Cup bronze and 2022 and 2023 San Diego International Beer Competition golds, and notes a stronger imperial version called Lifeblurred; the Untappd description also lists a 2025 GABF bronze.
• IBU comes only from Untappd.
• No 2026 medal announcement from Stone was found.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the description on file comes from Untappd and is not extended.
