Moody Tongue Brewery was opened in 2014 under the direction of acclaimed brewmaster Jared Rouben. Moody Tongue, a nickname for a guest with a discerning palate, features "culinary brewing", Rouben's original approach to brewing that combines the worlds of brewing and cooking through the application of a chef's mindset to the brewing process. Rouben, classically trained from the Culinary Institute of America in New York, worked in kitchens such as the Michelin star Martini House in Napa and Thomas Keller's three Michelin star Per Se in New York City before moving to Chicago and becoming Brewmaster at Goose Island Brewery. While at Goose Island, Rouben created the brewery's Farmers' Market Series and Chef Collaboration Series, brewing custom beers for renowned chefs such as Rick Bayless, Stephanie Izard and Paul Kahan.
