Janet’s Brown Ale is an American Style Brown Ale features Cascade and Centennial hops with chocolate and light caramel malts which combine for a toasty and chocolate-like malt body dry hopped with American hops for an elevated hop aroma.
This beer is a tribute to Mike "Tasty" McDole, one of the most prolific and well known homebrewers in the world. He passed away late last year after a battle with cancer. Janet's Brown Ale was an open source recipe he provided to home brewers and pro brewers and it has since been made all over the world.
”Tasty was always generous with his time, with his advice, his homebrew and with his treats. The way he would give feedback on beers was constructive, real and without fail, kind. He influenced countless homebrewers and probrewers through his time on the Brewing Network or just chatting at a beer festival or conference. He will be sorely missed around festivals and Bay Area pubs when we can all gather again.”

What’s the first rule of “Hero’s Duty”? No Cuts, No Buts, No Coconuts. What’s “No Cuts, No Buts, No Coconuts”? It’s a Tropical West Coast IPA featuring Mosaic, El Dorado, Citra, HBC 472 and HBC 682. Close your eyes, take a sip and you’ll be transported to paradise. There are NO coconuts in this beer, despite what your tastes buds might tell you, What’s even more exciting is that this is the first solo recipe by Emmy, our Lead Brewer. She’s put in plenty of work brewing and contributing to other Urban Roots recipes but this is the first one that’s 100% Emmy which of course means it’s 100% awesome.
