Research Notes

• Field pass 2026-10-13: Targeted brewery-domain and menu searches found no IBU, hop names or qualifying brewery beer URL beyond the previous research.
• One guessed brewery domain returned an empty page and another did not resolve, so no brewery site was confirmed and brewery url is null.
• The session's web search budget ran out before Untappd or press for this beer could be searched.
• No 2026 medal announcement was found.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Second pass 2026-10-13: The exact Northwoods Untappd entry supplied strength and style. No IBU, ingredient list or brewery-hosted beer page was found.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the description on file comes from Untappd; no brewery website is on file.
