Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association's craft malt category announcement requires at least 50% of the grain bill from a craft maltster (under 10,000 metric tons a year, more than half its grain grown within 500 miles) and lets color, aroma, flavor and body deviate from a stated base style to highlight the malt. Root Shoot Malting is named as the maltster, but its qualifying status and the share of the grain bill are not published.

Gaps

Research Notes

  • Field pass 2026-10-13: Brewery history page attributes wild Central City hops to Jacob Mack Brown Ale, but does not establish a named variety or the current Mild Ale competition recipe; hops remain empty.
  • The brewery has no individual beer pages; its brewery page lists the beer and is the beer url.
  • The brewery page itself notes the 2026 GABF gold for this beer, and the home page announces that the brewery struck gold at the festival.
  • A first domain guess, dostalalley.net, returned an error; dostalalley.com is the working site.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery page names the maltster, Root Shoot Malting; no hops.
