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.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours hazy grapefruit gold with a large creamy white head. Aroma is tropical with a light green onion note. Med body. Juicy and not too dry, but not sweet. Moderately, but slightly bitingly, bitter. Very tropical flavor mix, but green onion/garlic seems quite strong. Pleasing mouthfeel. A bit of earth in the finish. Very, very nice.

Waxed, capped 375 from Corti Bros. Pours dark brn/blk with a dark tan smear. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, vanilla, bourbon and arguably nuts. More than full bodied. Flavor is very chocolate with vanilla, bourbon and some coffee notes. Nuts are present, but somewhat hidden for me. Heat is present, but not a problem. It is far from dry. Malt finally shows as toasted/burnt and seems to provide a little bitterness. This is clearly dessert.
