Chigago’s Forbidden Root Brewery will be available in Ohio starting this week through a partnership with Cavalier Distributing.
Bark, stems, flowers, herbs, spices, leaves, roots and other foraged flavors have long been part of beer, but botanic brews in America were displaced by carbonated sodas in the early 20th century. At Forbidden Root, this early brewing tradition has been a springboard for great creativity and exploration.
“We didn’t invent botanic beer, we simply embraced it,” said Director of Sales Lincoln Anderson in a statement.
Forbidden Root will be offering their core lineup of brews in Ohio, which includes Money on My Rind, a 5% ABV witbier spiked with juniper berries and the deliciousness of pure grapefruit, with peppery grains of paradise; Sublime Ginger, a 3.8% ABV dry and creamy wheat beer with a splash of fresh key lime juice, a delicious bite of ginger, honeybush, and lemon myrtle; and Wildflower Pale Ale, a 5.6% pale ale with refreshing hop aroma and citrusy character with the subtle addition of elderflower, marigold, and sweet Osmanthus flowers.
Bars, restaurants and retailers in Ohii will begin stocking and pouring Forbidden Root’s unique lineup of brews the week of November 14.
