Head to 928 Seventh St. West, Suite 201, in West 7th to check out Clutch Brewing Company.

Look for beer staples like the Outta Style, a dry-hopped classic cream ale; the Chrysalis, which is infused with chai tea and brewed with rye malt; and the Exhaustdead, a smoked black IPA with slight dryness and bitterness. Check out the brewery's website for a complete list of offerings.
