Style Context
As category context only, the Brewers Association's craft malt category announcement requires at least 50% of the grain bill from a craft maltster (under 10,000 metric tons a year, more than half its grain grown within 500 miles) and lets color, aroma, flavor and body deviate from a stated base style to highlight the malt. The malt source and grain-bill percentage remain unpublished, so the listing does not establish eligibility.

Brewery Context
Free State Brewing Co. is in Lawrence, KS. Brewery type in Open Brewery DB: Microbrewery.
Field pass 2026-10-13: Additional hop searches found no named varieties. The previously recorded brewery tap-list evidence names Two Track ESB, but no new readable brewery page was verified.
Second pass 2026-10-13: Found matching ABV and IBU on BeerAdvocate. The brewery tap-list search result agrees, although its opened page yielded only a cookie notice. No named hops, malt varieties, malt supplier or yeast were found.
The beer catalog page lists flagship, seasonal and limited releases but not Two Track ESB; the what's on tap page returned no beer data; the news page does not mention it.
The home page notice confirms the medal from the brewery's side.
