Forbidden Root

Brand New Pier Pressure . 🌊🍺

Our rotating West Coast Pils series returns featuring Motueka CGX — bringing bright lime zest, layered citrus, and that unmistakable New Zealand hop character.

Crisp, snappy, and loaded with hop expression while staying endlessly drinkable.

Exactly how we want a West Coast Pils to drink.

On draft and in cans at both Chicago spots right now. Hitting Michigan, Florida, and maybe a couple more states!
