About Forbidden Root
Chicago's first botanic brewery, Forbidden Root crafts house beers using herbs, flowers, leaves, and spices drawn from early American and British brewing traditions. The West Town brewpub pairs its rotating botanical taps with an elevated pub menu of Midwestern-influenced small plates and hearty mains in a warm, industrial-chic space.
