Hear how Forbidden Root uses rare botanicals and fruit to craft unique beers—and how the same fruit can create different flavors.Phil Zelewsky, Head Brewer at Forbidden Root, shares how Chicago's first botanical brewery evolved from a root beer experiment into one of the top 10 brewpubs in the U.S. He explains how founder Robert Finkel sources wild ingredients like the “smuggled” Alpine botanical Génépi, Forbidden Root's approach to using “unusual but appropriate” ingredients, how to determine whether a root belongs in a beer, and how Thailand's markets and flavors inspired his ingredient mindset. He also discusses brewing with feijoa (pineapple guava) in a kettle sour, flagship beers like the strawberry basil Hefeweizen and peach witbier, the challenges of sourcing fruit with consistent flavor from one purveyor to the next.After the beer break, Phil introduces Bicycle Fire, a fruited Kveik ale brewed with hearth-grilled grapefruit and white pepper. He explains the advantages of Kveik yeast, including fast fermentation and high-temperature tolerance, and then breaks down Sláinte, a collaboration Irish Red Ale with Parlor Pizza, and shares how collaborations come together at the brewery. He also discusses the Black Phillip black IPA (a.k.a. Cascadian Dark Ale) and explains the use of their “flavor torpedo,” a device for infusing beers with hops, cherry stems, and more. Plus: Phil's “origin story” of how bartending at Merle's #1 Barbecue led to homebrewing, and eventually, to leading production at Forbidden Root.About Forbidden Root: As the first botanical brewery in Chicago (located in the West Town neighborhood), Forbidden Root's mission is to brew botanic beer, working to evoke the natural world in new and unique ways.

In David, we find a “type.” God sets him up as king and a good kingdom on earth to show us what he wants to do in Heaven. Under the first half of David's rule, people find peace, prosperity, and justice. But we also see David sin dramatically and the peace is broken. We are left longing for a true and better king!When we understand this promise of “kingdom” to David it allows us to better understand our longing for perfect leadership. But we realize we can't ever find this fulfilled in human form. Earthly leaders will always let us down, but God is the ultimate ruler in our lives.Revelation 21:4 gives us a peek at what the coming kingdom will look like! Jesus will establish the ultimate kingdom. We can have hope knowing that the way the world looks here and now isn't the way it “should be” and will “always be.” Our God is a just king who will bring rest from enemies, make an end to death, crying, and pain!SHOW NOTES:⁠⁠⁠- Dig Deeper - get the verse card and study questions here. ⁠⁠⁠-Go to the⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"Get Started" page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for all the information on how to use this study-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join thousands of women⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get the verse card and study questions!-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Invite a friend⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-You can find more lessons ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on the blog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Print more cards from⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠the shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Helping you love Jesus + disciple your kids ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram

CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is joined by his father, Jim McKenzie, for an intimate and in depth exploration of commercial real estate development. They unravel the complex web of relationships, regulations, and often absurd situations that shape our built environment. From the intricacies of curb cuts and driveway permits to the art of navigating local politics and lobbyists, the conversation offers a rare glimpse into the hidden mechanisms of urban development. Jim shares the highlights from his career like transforming day-old bread stores into bank branches, dealing with Chicago's infamous aldermen, and spelunking in archives to find century-old telegrams with enforceable contractual implications.–Full transcript available here: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/episodes/the-hundred-year-old-telegram-worth-5-million-with-jim-mckenzie-2/–Sponsor: CheckCheck is the leading payroll infrastructure provider and pioneer of embedded payroll.

Let's talk about it.

Explore bitter beers with Midwest Coast, including ESBs, English Pale Ales, and IPAs that cater to evolving palates. 01:48 Beer Myth: What's a “girly drink” when it comes to beers? Katherine and Brian and their guests shatter the myth that some beers are “manly” and others are not.  07:32 Midwest Coast Brewing: Cameron Compton, founder of Midwest Coast, and Timothy Ficken, brewery manager, talk about what brought them together to Midwest Coast. They share the different beer trends that were emerging in their very different parts of the country, with hops being a central part of one brewer's background and almost completely absent from the other's. Cameron also discusses his time in the military and in the tech world and what compelled him to move with his wife to Chicago, where he had never lived before, and open a brewery with his sister. Cameron also explains how hop contracts work and why they're so brutal for brewers to work with. What is an English IPA and what is an ESB? Timothy explains the concept behind the “Extra Special Bitter” and how they developed an English Pale Ale in order to make a certain style more palatable – and marketable – for customers. Katherine brings up a conversation about whether the Western palate really is designed to handle hops (is it?) and Brian explores the idea of a person's palate changing as they grow older. What is hoppy and what is earthy? An EXTENSIVE debate ensues, including a confused Cody who doesn't know how to explain what he's drinking. 54:20 Beer Behavior: When is it okay for brewers to chase trends and when is it not? Katherine gives props to Cameron and Timothy for sticking to the styles they like to brew, which evolves into a discussion of the benefits of trend-chasing – as long as someone else is doing it. 1:01:48 Today's Featured Merchandise: Our amazing baseball hats, available in multiple styles and colors!

//The Wire//1600Z June 19, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: TENSIONS CONTINUE ON KOREAN PENINSULA. ATTACKS CONTINUE ON U.K. INFRASTRUCTURE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: Attacks on critical infrastructure continue. A few days ago, self-described “direct actionists” infiltrated a facility in Kent that is allegedly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems, a major Israeli defense company known for their production of night vision equipment. After gaining entry to the facility, the pro-Palestine infiltrators destroyed a substantial amount of equipment within the factory. This comes a few weeks after similar efforts were allegedly made to cut the power/data cables to the facility.Far East: Russia's state visit to North Korea continues amid increasing border tensions in the South.-HomeFront-Massachusetts: 911 call center services throughout the state have reportedly been restored. No cause for yesterday's outage has been provided.Illinois: A large fire broke out at a pallet manufacturing facility in West Town, Chicago. The multiple-alarm fire totally consumed the facility.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Over the past few weeks, South Korea has accused the North of incursions into the Demilitarized Zone between the two nations. Satellite imagery over the past few months has indicated land clearance operations in some areas within the DMZ. Yesterday, South Korea allegedly observed the explosion of several landmines, possibly injuring or killing North Korean soldiers working within the DMZ. This follows several days of questionable skirmishes along with border, by which North Korean soldiers allegedly fired off a few small arms rounds toward South Korea, before running away. As is typical of the Korean conflict, these claims are made solely by the government of South Korea and therefore cannot be independently verified with any accuracy. These border tensions, while not completely out of the ordinary considering the history of the Korean peninsula, are still likely to cause concern in the west, especially considering the timing of such incidents occurring nearly simultaneously with Russia's state visit.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

Cecily takes us through her early days being scouted at the mall as a teen, globe-trotting adventures in the modeling world, and learning the ins and outs of the restaurant industry from the ground up with Eat Free Pizza.

This week's episode searches for the answer to the question: “Does Chicago have the best taco scene in the U.S.?” Host David Manilow is joined by chef Stephen Sandoval and hospitality entrepreneur Oscar Sotelo to debate just that.

A group of Illinois residents have challenged Donald Trump's candidacy. An undercount of people living in group quarters on the 2020 Census might mean Illinois isn't losing population after all. Plus, there's a slew of new laws you may have missed – like an e-cigarette ban in indoor public spaces. Reset breaks down those stories and more with Alex Nitkin, reporter with the Illinois Answers Project, Quinn Myers, Block Club Chicago reporter covering Wicker Park, West Town and Bucktown, and WBEZ education reporter Sarah Karp.

Jeff Donahue, Vice President of Operations at Heisler Hospitality, joins us to discuss his long career in Chicago's hospitality scene.

He explains the inspiration behind concepts like Sportsman's Club, Big Kids, and Estereo, which he created alongside creative partner Wade McElroy. Jeff also reveals details on upcoming Heisler projects like Friends of Friends in West Town and Lobo Pizza's third location in the West Loop. We talk about what makes a good barback, serving Dustin Hoffman, hidden gems in the often overlooked Dunning neighborhood, and so much more.
