Research Notes
- Field pass 2026-10-13: Distributor and brewery-domain searches found no matching ABV, IBU, hops or brewery beer page.
- Second pass 2026-10-13: No additional specifications were found in targeted Untappd, ABV, BeerMenus and medal searches. Results for Under A Serpent Sun belong to Hines Family Brewing and were excluded.
- The brewery's beer list shows 16 beers and packs; Serpent Sun is not among them.
- The awards page cites 35 GABF medals overall, but the readable content did not include a 2026 entry or this beer.
- A web search for the beer name returned nothing about it; the session search budget ran out before Untappd or press could be searched further.
- Researched 2026-10-13.
- Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery site was read; it has no Serpent Sun description.
