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 to tulip glass. Pours slightly opaque with small white head that rings the glass while retaining wisps across the top. Aroma is citrus fruit and slight fusel alcohol. Flavor is citrus, sap, dank and retained breast malt. Alcohol well pronounced but does t detract from an all-around good beer.

Tap at Gourmet Haus. Pours moderately hazed sunset orange. Moderate white head retains as a cover with large bubbles and full ring. Citrus aroma and biscuit. Flavor has moderate-light citrus with full yeast, fair amount of caramel and residual sugars. Moderate alcohol presence. Full bitterness. A bit heavy all around for my (current) liking and a throwback taste wise to the style 10+ years ago.

Waxed, capped 375 from Cap Tap. Pours dark brn/blk with a slight, foamy/fizzy darkish tan head. Aroma has treacle, bourbon, a touch of heat, and a chocolate note. Arguably full bodied. Flavor is neither dry nor sticky. Treacle, chocolate, bourbon, heat, toffee, possibly a hint of anise. Heat is a flavor, not a problem. Excellent flavor.

Can from Cap Tap. Pours clear bright gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is moderate level of smoke. Arguably med body. Flavor is moderately smoked and a little breadiness follows. Lightly bitter. Mostly it's the smoke. Very good flavor.

On tap at Urban Roots, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out some peach Snapple notes and light tartness. Flavour is pretty simple, with gently tart peach Snapple notes. Doesn't have the oak or buggy complexity that made the raspberry sour nice. It's alright at best.

On tap at Urban Roots, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out gentle brett funk, tart blackberries, and light rustic notes. Flavour is crisp and rustic, with rustic farmhouse notes, gentle tart blackberries and a hint of funk. Nicely constructed, with just enough berries to mix with the funk and rustic notes. Very good.
