Märzen

5.9% ABV

Our full-bodied, malty lager honors the traditional beers of Munich’s Oktoberfest. The name comes from the German word for the month of March. For centuries before refrigeration, these beers were brewed in spring, stored in cold cellars all summer and consumed in the fall. Then and today, patience is required to make a great Märzen.

Oktober Festbier

5.9% ABV

Our medium bodied pale lager is an homage to the bier currently served at Munich’s Oktoberfest. It is a balancing act between strength and drinkability. Subtle but rich hints of Munich malt remind you that this is made for a celebration of bier! Enjoy!

German Eats

Full Menu & Specials!

Come hungry! We’re serving up a lineup of classic German eats made for Oktoberfest and perfect for pairing with a cold Double Clutch beer. Expect hearty, festival-inspired favorites and plenty of flavors straight from the Bier Hall.

Grab a plate, fill your stein and settle in for a full day of Clutchtober Fest fun.

Dress to Impress

Lederhosen and dirndls are highly encouraged!

Whether you go all out or just come ready for a beer, everyone is invited to get into the Oktoberfest spirit.
