Moody Tongue Brewing Company

Founded in 2014 by cousins Jared Rouben (President and Brewmaster) and Jeremy Cohn (CEO), Chicago's Moody Tongue Brewing Company is built on the philosophy of culinary brewing, appealing to those with a discerning palate, or as Rouben describes it, a "moody tongue." The brewery has grown significantly in culinary markets across the US and China, and after its acclaimed Tasting Room won the 2019 Jean Banchet Award for Best Bar in Chicago, it moved to a larger facility at 2515 South Wabash Avenue.

The brewery's home houses a dramatically expanded brewing operation as well as two restaurant concepts helmed by ten-time Michelin-starred Chef Jared Wentworth: The Bar at Moody Tongue, a casual, à la carte tasting room, and The Dining Room at Moody Tongue, a 25-seat, upscale 10-course tasting menu. The expansion brought Rouben (former Brewmaster of Goose Island Brewery) together with longtime friend Wentworth (Longman & Eagle, Dusek's) to showcase beer and food pairing in a setting unlike any before.

Moody Tongue held Two Michelin Stars in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and One Michelin Star in 2024 and 2025, and was listed among La Liste's Outstanding Restaurants in 2023 and 2025.
