"A suburban brewpub three years in the making is at last planning to debut in October with an assortment of German-style beers and a display of rare and vintage cars. Double Clutch Brewing Company — an expansive bar, restaurant, and event space with a stage for live music — is aiming for a fall opening at 2121 Ashland Avenue in Evanston. The brewpub’s food menu isn’t yet finalized but chef Patrick Wasserman plans to introduce his own spin on familiar bar favorites — think shepherd’s pie dumplings — alongside traditional hits like bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers, Buffalo wings, and double cheeseburgers. Double Clutch will also offer meats out of its on-site smoker, in addition to a full bar and wine selection." - Naomi Waxman
