"Urban Roots is one of California's most outstanding breweries, which is no small feat considering the Golden State has more breweries per capita than any other state in the U.S. The brand was opened in 2018 by Rob Archie and Peter Hoey, friends and veterans of the craft beer and restaurant industries. The name "Urban Roots" is a nod to the complex, traditional yet updated farmhouse ales created in their city brewery."
"There are dozens of delicious beers on tap at any given time, including a wide variety of IPAs and lagers as well as stouts and fruited beers, plus cider, hard seltzer, and non-alcoholic options. For the food, the founders wanted locals to feel like they were being invited to something more neighborly, which meant Texas-style barbecue. Think smoked brisket, pulled pork, chicken, and sausages; accompanied by tacos, fried fish, nachos, burgers, salads, and classic barbecue sides."
"Hoey and Archie's mission to invite locals and visitors alike into their taproom for a communal feast and beautifully crafted beers is working. Both the beer and the food have received awards in regional, national, and international competitions. In 2025, Urban Roots came in at number five on USA Today's list of the 10 best brewpubs in the United States."
