Description
Hey! Welcome to Urban Roots. We’re here because we love people and beer. We wanted to make beer and create a space to show that love to the world. Our place has plenty of room for people to hang out and enjoy one another, some super fresh beer and some really tasty food. Urban Roots started when Rob and Peter decided it was time to open the brewery they’d been dreaming of for a long long time. They wanted a place where they could express their love for the industry they’ve been a part of for so long. With Urban Roots they hope to pay homage to all of the wonderful people they have met on their journey. People that showed them amazing beer and maybe more importantly showed them a good time.

Pint can - labeled as an oak-aged maibock - hazy medium gold - creamy texture - not as sweet as many examples of the style, but the malt richness you expect is still present - moderate herbal bitterness, slight mineral quality, moderate oak on the back end - decent.

Wax-dipped 375ml bottle - dark ruby pour - complex nose of fig, treacle, molasses, raisin, oak, whiskey - surprisingly well-masked alcohol - deep caramelized sugars, treacle, dark fruit, sherry, plum, fig - moderate whiskey, but not boozy - I really liked the last barleywine I had from these folks, and this is no different - well done!
