Please note, availability varies. Stop in or give us a call to see what's currently on tap!
Helles Lager
ABV 5.1%
Available Year Round
2022 Silver Medal Winner at the Great American Beer Festival Our Helles Lager is inspired by the malt forward beers of Munich. This well-balanced beer offers the subtle aroma of the Hallertau hops of Bavaria with a touch of sweetness from Munich’s finest malt. Six weeks of cold conditioning gives this beer its bright, clean drinkability. The result is a refreshing golden lager for a sunny afternoon Bier Garten.
Kölsch
4.6% ABV
Available Year Round
Our Kölsch is a crisp, light version of the best ales of Cologne. A well-balanced blend of select German malts, noble hops and top fermenting yeast give this beer a light-golden color. Its slightly fruity character is sometimes compared to the Riesling wines of Germany.
Altbier
4.8% ABV
Available Year Round
2024 Silver Medal Winner at the Great American Beer Festival 2024 Bronze Winner at The World Beer Cup® Our medium-bodied, amber colored Altbier is inspired by the malty ales of Düsseldorf. While the rest of Europe moved towards light Pilsners in the nineteenth century, the brewers of Düsseldorf focused on the traditional techniques of darker malts to make an “old beer” ale.
Pilsener
4.9% ABV
Available Year Round
Our northern German variation of this popular style showcases the noble hops of Germany and the Czech Republic. Germany’s finest Pilsener malt gives a nice bready backbone to balance an abundant amount of hops. With less body than its Czech cousin, this refreshing beer really lets the hops come forward.
Hefeweizen
5.4% ABV
Available Year Round
Our effervescent, hazy wheat beer is inspired by the finest examples in Munich. With notes of banana and clove this tangy and refreshing beer will quench any thirst.
Helles Rauchbier Lager
5.1% ABV
Available Year Round
2023 Silver Medal Winner at the Great American Beer Festival Our smoked Lager is inspired by the malt forward beers of Bamberg. No single moment in Germany had more impact on me as a brewer than drinking beer straight from the barrel at Aecht Schlenkerla in Bamberg. The malt is dried over Beechwood smoke, giving the beer its unique flavor. Balanced with the noble hops of Franconia, this beer is a unique pleasure.
Märzen
5.9% ABV
Available August-October
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.
Smooth Alternator Doppelbock
8.2% ABV
Available November-February
Our rich and malty, full-bodied lager honors the traditional “double strong” beers of Bavaria. Originally brewed by Benedictine monks, this “liquid bread” helped them through the long fasting period of Lent. Thirteen weeks of conditioning gives this lager it’s smooth finish.
Lizzie's Red Ale
5.8% ABV
Available March-April
Our medium bodied amber ale traces its roots back to Kilkenny, Ireland in the early 1700’s. With roasted barley and notes of caramel it shares the palate of a good Irish whiskey. It’s guaranteed to keep the leprechauns happy! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Maibock
6.5% ABV

Little Juice Coupe
6.4% ABV
Available Year Round
Our take on this classic New England style focuses more on the juiciness and leaves the bitterness behind. Absurd amounts of Azacca, Mosaic and Citra hops give this IPA a refreshing fruity character.
Low Rider Session IPA
4.8% ABV
Available April-September
Our session IPA cruises low and slow on a classic wave of old school American malt. West coast hops provide a cool breeze for a long, hot summer day!

7.1% ABV
Available October-December
Our single decoction medium bodied, amber colored Sticke Altbier is a tribute to a special malty ale of Düsseldorf. Twice a year the brewers of Düsseldorf make a secret, “Sticke” version of the Altbier for their regular customers. With heavier doses of malt and hops, this beer will make any moment special!
Shandy Pants Lemon Ale
4.6% ABV
Available April-September
Our summer Lemon-Ale adds a touch of grapefruit and lime to accentuate that refreshing lemon flavor. Crisp and light, it’s a perfect refreshment for a day at the beach!

Available Year Round
A Homegrown Collaboration Rooted in Evanston, Double Clutch Brewing Company has teamed up with fellow Evanston favorite 10 Mile House to release a crisp, clean American Pilsner that’s as local as it gets—The Purple Line Pils, 4.7% ABV. This collaborative brew is more than just a refreshing pint—it’s a tribute to the community that inspired it. The name nods to one of Evanston’s most iconic symbols: the Purple Line, which connects the city to the heart of Chicago and serves as a daily thread tying together students, residents, and visitors alike. It's a color with deep roots in Evanston, often seen in everything from jerseys on game day to banners fluttering down Central Street. With The Purple Line Pils, two local institutions—both known for their dedication to quality, hospitality, and community—join forces to create a beer that tastes like home. Light, crisp, and endlessly drinkable, it pairs perfectly with a wood-fired pizza from 10 Mile House or one of Double Clutch's new menu items, like the fan-favorite steak sandwich. Now pouring at Double Clutch Brewing Company. Hop on board.
