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.

7.5/10 Appearance 10 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
On tap at the brewery. Aroma is grain forward with light cracker notes and a bit more toasted bread and biscuit. Faint esters and no phenolics. Pours a very clear, amber gold color with a small, thick, white head that recedes somewhat quickly to a thin film that lingers on the edges. Flavor has a light sweetness and very grain forward. Light cracker malt notes with biscuit, toasted bread and honey. Hints of floral esters. Low bitterness and no hop notes. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer for the style. Lots of nice malt notes and a clean fermentation profile.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours very hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is very fruity - guava! Med body. Flavor is guava milkshake- but there’s bitter citrus/pine. Malt is ignorable - just enough to support. Super quaffable. Delicious.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours light clean, slightly silvery gold with a decent foamy white head. Aroma is very light “malt” - not exactly malt, but can’t put a name to it. Not quite med body. Flavor is arguably a bit ricey, but it’s crisp and clean. Not not much hop, but it’s a good drinker. Pretzel beer.

Tap at the brewpub. Served with a lime wedge. With wedge removed: Amber pour with a white head. Malty aroma. Med body. Flavor is bready, slightly slightly toasty/roasty malty. An amber/Vienna it is, but it is clean and does not have that nauseous chocolate aspect many have for me. This really is a very good drink - this from the guy not fond of Viennas.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours very hazy juicy orangey gold with a white head. Aroma is juicy orange. Med + body. Flavor is juicy orange with a “cream” aspect. Drier than many; hoppy; more than moderately bitter, but not harsh. Orange, creamy, soft it is. Nice.

Crowler from the brewpub. Pours translucent gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is citrus, but there seems to be a touch of green melon. Lots of hop. Med + body. Fairly dry. Very hoppy - at least near dank. Pretty bitter. Flavor is citrus/evergreen/melon or something like that. Somewhat earthy. Just enough malt for support. Good stuff.

Crowler from the brewpub. Pours dark opaque gold with a huge foamy near beige head. Aroma is spicy pale stone fruit. Brought pickled peaces to mind. Med body at least. Flavor is fairly dry, lightly spicy and peach. It's even a little spicy/earthy astringent. Tastes good. Nice saison.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours very dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is chocolate/vanilla for me. Near med body. Flavor shows coffee first, followed by chocolate with vanilla notes. Not very dry; not very bitter. Verging on a desert beer. But a bit too earthy for that. If you like porters with flavorful adjuncts, this!

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of juicy fruits - mix of tropicals and citrus. Med body or so. Flavor is very tropical, but doesn’t seem to fit the usual suspects. Citrus plays second fiddle. Mild malt support. Juicily undry; quite hoppy; a bit more than moderately bitter. Stands out a little ways from the tropical crowd.
