Forbidden Root partners with artist for special beer series


Forbidden Root Brewery, 1746 W. Chicago, hosts a release party for Radio Swan, the first beer in a collaborative series with artist Tony Fitzpatrick, 6 p.m. July 18. 

Fitzpatrick's, who worked with the Forbidden Root team on the idea of pairing his artwork with head brewer BJ Pichman’s New England-style IPAs, Radio Swan, inspired by the artist's collage by the same name, was created.

Radio Swan, 6.4% NEIPA brewed with rye malt, Mosaic and El Dorado hops, and a touch of lactose. The brew has dank aromatics with a touch of bright fruit. A creamy mouth feel starts out sweet and juicy, and then rounds out to finish dry with an echo of rye complexity, will be released in 4-packs of 16-oz cans.
