Forbidden Root Botanic Beer Dinner at Arami, 6/11

Arami will hold a unique beer dinner with Forbidden Root, Chicago's first botanical brewery, on Thursday, June 11 at 7 p.m. Arami's Chef de Cuisines Ajay Popli and Nelson Vinansaca have designed a five course menu (scallop crudo; nigiri/sashimi; braised pork belly; roasted rabbit; dessert) that draws inspiration from Forbidden Root's current brews, five of which will be paired to each dish. Forbidden Root's unique botanical brewing methods use all natural ingredients, including herbs, spices, barks, roots, honeys, stems, seeds, nuts, vanilla bean and cacao beans. Reservations, priced at $70 per person, may be made by visiting AramiChicago.com/upcoming-events/.
