Forbidden Root
Forbidden Root is a craft brewery inspired by nature. Located in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood at 1746 W. Chicago Ave., it is housed in the former Hub Theater space. The brewery uses traditional ingredients as a base to explore the rich world of wild ingredients and create an exciting range of beers: both familiar and eccentric. Forbidden Root’s year-round beers include: Wildflower Pale Ale (WPA), Strawberry Basil Hefeweizen, and Hay Fever, in addition to several limited releases and pub-only offerings. Forbidden Root is passionate about giving back. As a Benefit Corporation, Forbidden Root has built goals other than shareholder value into its operating charter. 100% of non-consumable merchandise profits are donated to charity. That means every time a Forbidden Root t-shirt, bottle opener, growler container, or other merch item is bought, the profit goes to a good cause. Our current beneficiary is Chicago's Green City Market.
