Q: I noticed you have a few beers that are called “Isolate”…what’s up with that? ⠀
⠀
A: Great question! We kicked off our Isolate series last year with the release of Isolate Strata. Each beer in this series uses the same recipe with a single hop variety. By changing the hop each time we are able to isolate, analyze and evaluate the characteristics of each hop. ⠀
⠀
This gives you, the drinker, a chance to taste the hops in all their glory and see how a single hop can impact the flavor of a beer. It also gives us the chance to provide feedback to the growers which helps them determine which hops will be propagated for future harvest and helps us determine which hops will be used again in our own beers. ⠀
Isolate Simcoe is the most recent release in our Isolate series and features 100% hand selected Simcoe hops. Pick up a 4-pack here at the pub or try it on draft next time you stop in.
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.
Friends w/ Social Distances is a collaboration with our friends at Altamont Beer Works. Last month they released a version that was brewed at their facility and now we’re releasing ours which was brewed here at Urban Roots. This fruity and dank Double IPA features Centennial, Summit and Simcoe plus it was dry hopped with Nelson, Cashmere and Mosaic.
Both of these new beers will be available in cans and on draft THIS FRIDAY, July 31 when we open at 12pm.
