There's a new Chef in town....well, sort of.

A few months ago, we started a beer dinner series. Now, we're taking things to a new level.

I got my first lesson in ramps from Chef Dan Weiland about a year ago. It started with the question "What the heck are ramps, Chef?" after seeing them all over the Forbidden Root menu last April....

We put together a lot of pretty unique and delicious beers last year, gained a lot of experience and picked up a pretty good following as well, As amazing as last year was, we're very much looking forward to the possibilities 2018 has in store.

2018 will be a natural extension of our brand, which means the Forbidden Root Community can expect surprises! Passion, excellence, and respect for nature’s bounty will drive our every move. Providing our guests with new sensory experiences, uncharted flavors, and innovative process-- that is our mission.

Last weekend some of the Forbidden Root crew headed west for the Great American Beer Festival. We recap our beer-drenched time in Denver.

Harvey, Irma, and Maria. This hurricane season has been one of the most devastating our country has seen. For our next Love Handle we’re partnering with our friends at Oskar Blues to donate to AmeriCares.
