Jared Rouben, brewmaster at Chicago’s Moody Tongue Brewery, had his aha moment when he decided to apply his culinary training to the beers he was making. And he’s been brewing complex, layered beers ever since. His Belgian wit teases the eyes and the palate with its dark color that implies heaviness. Instead, the first sip introduces savory spices of mustard seed and green coriander that are cut with citrusy orange peel and yuzu. And the second sip reveals how this beer got its name with Thai chilies that tingle the tip of the tongue.
