Clutch Brewing Company

Beers tend to be above average. There was nice ambiance. There are tables and chairs that provide a nice view of the market below (brewery is on the second floor). Lots of open air. Bartenders were friendly. Pricing was arguably a buck higher than it should have been for several beers. The bar top is made of pennies. Parking was free when I went, but there also appears to be a gate that seems to imply parking may not always be free. All in all, it's a good spot and I'd go back.

I've been here a couple times with friends and the drinks are fantastic. I had the Hypnotoad and Enjoy a Sequoia (both IPAs) and each was fantastic. Two of my friends got a flight that included two IPAs, a porter, and another a lighter beer. They said they were all great and a flight was a good option given the high number of selections. The seating arrangement is cozy and functional with plenty of different options to choose from. The staff were incredibly helpful and there were board games/arcade games available for those interested. For whatever reason, Clutch wasn't a brewery I thought of when going out for a drink somewhere. This experience reminded me that it's stellar and I'll be making a concerted effort to come here more often. An easy 5 stars!

Loooooved this brewery. They built it so well that they have everything that everyone need. They have beer, they have games, they have screens and they have food around. This is one good place to enjoy beer and have a game night. I loved the ambiance of this place. The bartender was so great that she patiently explained us there beer and she was so kind enough to give us samples so we can choose what we like. And trust me this is the first place I liked all the samples I tasted. Beer was good and they have different beers on the menu. They also have so many games on site and I saw so many ppl enjoying there game night here. This is one place that can be enjoyed by group of ppl. I would definitely recommend this for all beer and game lovers.

Great little brewery in the old Schmidt Brewing building! Quaint little spaces to have a beer and chat with friends!!!!! The logo is well thought out and on point!

The most amazing brewery in the twin cities! Beautiful lounging area, and delicious beer, all in a really cool location that’s convenient in Saint Paul. Will be coming here more often!

Cool location, alright atmosphere, and hit or miss beers. Over the 6 years I've occasionally come, I've had some of my favorite beers and some beers I couldn't finish. On paper, their tap list is super creative and sounds incredible. When executed, it's a mixed bag. The keg and case market is always a cool spot. If you are there early enough there are solid food options. If you are there late, there are people tossing corn hole. Bring back the blueberry stout, you cowards.

This is a cool place, support your local St Paul business! We stopped by for a beer at Clutch on a quiet night, there was plenty of seating inside (some comfy couches, the bar, several tables) and an outside patio/lawn area. Really nice space and I loved Minnie's Saison. We didn't stay to eat, but one of the restaurants was open downstairs, outside it looked like bring what you want. Original Schmidt memorabilia and sign an added bonus for visually motivated visitors. Iconic. Reminded me of being a single digit kid riding in the backseat of a 70's Ford Galaxy watching the sign light up letter by letter as we passed (most notably when someone disabled every other letter starting at c).

Clutch is a unique, fun brewery right above the Keg and Case market, a strange space filled with curiosities and cozy couch nooks. The staff are great and the drinks are delicious. Definitely stop in for a visit.

Sorry to see it go!!!!!!!!!!!! Try to stop in before the end of the year!!!!*************************************************************************^^**********^^^ Amazing spot amazing brewery amazing vibe I love lounging and relaxing here. There's a lot of couches from tables. You got the market. It's awesome.

My sister and I stopped into Clutch Brewing on a rainy Saturday evening. It was both of our first time here. We sat at the bar and were greeted quickly by both bartenders. They were very friendly. Introduced themselves and told us to let them know if we had questions or wanted to try any of the brews. They were very knowledgeable as well. We tried a few before we decided what we wanted. Beer was great! Let me tell you the best barstools I've ever sat on. So comfortable! It's a cute little spot in the top corner of Keg and Case Market.

Love Clutch Brewing! Went here for the free beer with my pub pass, and got the "Ode to Summer" which was a yummy lemon pale ale. Service was great and the ambiance is awesome. I love the Keg and Case market and so we walked around with our beers and checked out the market. I also love the furniture that Clutch has- we found some cute couches to sit on and played cards with some friends. A very enjoyable afternoon!

Visited @kegandcasemn to make a pit stop at @clutchbrewco. It is on the second floor of the building, with smells of food from places like O'Cheeze, Pimento, and Poppin filling the place. While I was there, I also got to watch some Super Smash Bros being played on a large screen. Clutch's menu had unique spins on classics, traditional styles not often seen (Biere de Garde anyone?), and the ever present IPAs / Sours. I tried five of their offerings and enjoyed every single last one of them. Hefe"wine"zen: A dry hopped hefeweizen with Nelson Sauvin and Pacifica hops. Light dough malt (wheat cracker almost) on the nose, with a unique hoppy taste (white wine from the Nelson is the most prevalent) and some light banana and clove coming through. Stellar: Not only Stellar in name, this Pineapple Mango Strawberry Sour has a lighter body that makes it similar to a more tart fruited lemonade. It has a medium tart pineapple / mango flavor with the sweet notes of the strawberry rising in the finish to provide a good balance. Enjoy'a Sequoia: A double dip hopped IPA with a huge hop character. It is a bouquet of fresh fruit, citrus, and pine cones. Imagine getting a fruit basket with pine cones mixed in, and that is about what you smell and taste with this beer. Barnstomp A style not often seen at breweries, this Biere de Garde was my favorite of the bunch. Loads of raisin, black currant, and toasted bread flavor with malty toffee aromas. For a beer that isn't heavy in body there is a lot of malt flavor. Heavy Setter A Wee Heavy Scotch Ale that doesn't hide from its smokiness. I get medium-high smoked caramel, toasted bread crust, and hints of light brown sugar on the finish. A big 9% ABV beer that would be great around the campfire.

Another brewery checked off on our pub pass tour. Keg and Case houses the brewery and several other vendors and food options. It's an artsy, fun atmosphere. There was live music playing in the bar area and a few TVs so we could catch the WI vs Rutgers mens bb game. I had the Nitro Sweet Jane stout. It was very smooth. For dinner we had OCheeze. We split a pear salad and basic grilled cheese which came with chips. All of our food options were very good. The grilled cheese was crispy on the outside and oozing with 3 different cheeses. Fun date night.

I've been to this brewery a few times within Keg & Case Market and it seems like they switch up their beer options frequently. Tried a couple beer options as we were able to use our PubPasses here. Great little way to get a pre drink in before meeting with family. I believe we tried the HYPNOTOAD, which is an IPA and we also tried the E'S ALT, which was a nutty style beer. We really liked the IPA and not as big of a fan of the nutty one. Worth trying them out though.

I tried a delicious nutty German beer called E's Alt Saturday afternoon. The bartender answered my many questions on the status of Keg and Case (where they are located) and was very friendly. Clutch is located upstairs with cozy tables and a few couches for loungey sorts of conversations. Clutch is a reliably delicious and cool spot for a great brew.

Had a great time coming here for a couple brews this past weekend. The lady and I had some work to do so we grabbed a comfy seat hopped on the wifi and worked while we sipped our beers. The beers were delicious, pretty standard pricing for the cities as well. The staff was friendly and the place was clean! There's a market downstairs "Keg and Case" where you can get all sorts of food and other products from a bunch of vendors. All and all a great brewery to hang out at even if you're looking for a spot to be productive for a couple hours!

I LOVE this Place! The location is INSIDE of keg and case which is a neat place. Grab a beer and walk around and wonder the shops. Nothing is better then sipping on a beer while walking and shopping. Service has always been amazing and very friendly and the beer has always been good!!

I came here with my friends on a visit to Saint Paul. It is located upstairs in Keg and Case. The beer is brewed in house and is absolutely delicious. We each did a tasting and we loved all of the beers that we tasted. The bartenders were also very knowledgeable about each beer and helped us to pick out what we would like. If I lived around here, it would definitely be a hang out spot.

Awesome brew choices! We asked the bar tender to choose our flight 'flavors' and he was spot on! Super friendly attentive staff and I love the space - The brewery over looks everything in the keg and case market place has a variety of vendors to check out! The straight 8 and goomba were my faves!

Very good set of beer! Excellent service on a timely manner!! Recommend to put this on your bucket list!

This brewery's best feature is definitely its location and that you can benefit from all of the various food vendors (Revival, Bogart's, Sweet Science Ice Cream etc.) while you enjoy your beer. I've tried a handful of beers from Clutch - from IPA's, cream ales to milk stouts, all of them have simply been "good" not great or above average. All of their beers seem to be designed to be fairly approachable for the average beer drinker - so don't expect some of the extreme flavors and innovation you may see elsewhere. I do appreciate that they offer a wide variety of styles, so everyone in your group should be able to find a style that they like I have really enjoyed the space that Clutch offers within Keg and Case. Their seating area is on the 2nd level "balcony" of Keg and Case so you can really do some great people watching and enjoy all the amazing sunlight that the building lets in. The tables right by the bar of Clutch are reserved for patrons which helps as the building gets crowded with people looking for seating to eat food from the lower level. Long story short- definitely worth grabbing a beer while you are enjoying lunch/dinner from one of the vendors, but I personally wouldn't venture out of my way to grab a beer here.

My wife and I were in St. Paul to get some solid BBQ at Revival and I had one of Clutch's awesome IPAs with my meal that Revival had on tap, but then we went upstairs at Keg and Case, which is a place that has multiple restaurants and craft stalls. Clutch has the second floor. Super cool atmosphere and plenty of IPAs. I got a beer and chatted with my wife and enjoyed the sweet hoppiness of life. Good beer, great company and an amazing beer upstairs in St. Paul.

Fan of the the Penumbra sour ale and Straight 8 IPA. Friendly and fast behind the bar. Plenty of seating on the upstairs mezzanine level of Keg & Case.

If your not from the town, then you might have a hard time finding this place. Once we asked a couple people, then we found it. They have a great selection of beers. I had the Straight 8 - IPA and it was a great solid beer.

If you want to drink a beer in a unique and exciting environment, this is the spot for you!! Located in the Keg and Case market, Clutch Brewing is located just up the stairs with fantastic views of this incredible building. The beer selection was really well rounded, everyone in my group tried beers that they liked. You can various food options from down below, and bring them up to eat while you drink your beers. We will definitely be back!

Stopped in around 6:00 on Saturday night for a beer as it was in my Hop Passport. The folks working were very helpful and quick in helping us order and didn't mind we had a BOGO for the first round. I ended up having two IPAs - Straight 8 & Plumbus Amongus! and both were great. The space is unique inside as it overlooks the Keg and Case market so we had some people watching fun while sipping the beers. We took our 2nd beer to go as there was music outside on the lawn at 7:00 and it looked like a lot of neighborhood folks had come out to enjoy the evening. Would not hesitate to stop in for a beer again the next time I am in the neighborhood.

Group of 9 arranged to meet here at 4:20 on April 20th. It may have only been me who thought that was funny. The space is very cool above the Keg in Case market. Easy to run downstairs and grab some food and bring it up and drink some pretty solid beers. None of the beers were standouts but of the four I tried all were good. The space is friendly and accommodating to all I had a nine and a 13-year-old with me and they had a good time. The vibe of the whole space is really cool, and I'm looking forward to being able to come back. Recommended.

Awesome staff, delicious and creative beers, and a great setting to enjoy it all in. (Not to mention some awesome people watching!) There is lounge type seating which is great if you're lucky enough to get a spot, bar seating, and tables small and large. Something for everyone! Grab some food from downstairs and bring it up to enjoy a beer. They have some awesome sodas and NA drinks as well - ask about them! The butterscotch root beer is delicious. Trivia on Thursday's at 8 pm, and specials on other nights of the week as well including "Taster Tuesday" (check out their social media pages for the latest scoop)

This brewery is in the second floor of a local market. I had a stout and it was good, but not amazing. My boyfriend had a hefeweizen, that was one of the best ones I've had. They have lots of seating which is nice. And they allow you to bring food from the market up to their brewery to eat while you have a beer. Overall a pretty cool place I'd probably go back to if I was in the area again.

The real champagne of beers...Thw selection is broad and the staff are nice and friendly. Recommended. I just wish they offered some kind of low carb option but I get that's not really the market ;-)

Nice brewery inside Keg and Case. Got the Blame it on Brexit, would recommend! Staff here seem friendly and knowledgeable. Only downside is the noise and constant flow of people in and out of the space. If you can grab a table at the far side of the room, would recommend as well.

Located on the upper level of Keg and Case, I found myself enjoying some interesting craft beer. Whether it is the artwork or environment that draws you in, this brewery is a good spot to relax and enjoy life. With the many shops located in Keg and Case, you have the opportunity to grab a beer and bite(s) to eat! Just add good company and you'll have a fun time trying their smoked beer, ales and sours.

Went here on Easter Sunday before a Wild game. Never knew this little gem was there but now that I know I plan to go back this summer. It is in one of the old Schmit brewery buildings. There were various other little shops inside also.

This is an awesome setup. The brewery is on an upper level of other little "shops". The lower level has a market feel with little food shops (pizza, ice cream, wine bar, etc.). I had a citrus beer called September. It started off hoppy, but after a few more sips I started to taste the citrus. I'll definitely be back!

This brewery is the top floor of the Keg and Case Market Building. It affords an open view of the market below and offers little casual seatings around the top floor. We picked a couple of dark brews (sample size $3) since we were stuffed full from our visit to Revival downstairs. A lot of other patrons brought up their food from Revival and had it upstairs! What a great idea!

This brewery is inside of St Paul's Keg and Case. When you go inside the building, the brewery is the whole top floor area, but is open to the bottom so you can check out and see what's going on in the market area. The bar area/tap area is super cool looking and everyone was super friendly. I am a picky beer drinker so I asked if I could sample before buying and the bartender happily said yes! I ended up getting the plum sour and it was delicious. if we didn't have a dinner reservation at In Bloom, I would have went and got some grub (specifically pimento) and brought it upstairs to have another beer.

We had a nice visit with family and sat at the large table near the bar. It was Friday afternoon so there wasn't a full crowd. The beer craft choices were good. We enjoyed Choosing the different restaurant s food to satisfy everyone's taste. I was enjoying the ambiance. Remember they don't open until 12 on Friday.

Seem friendly. Can't get a sample of the Radner though. Too much hassle to mix for a sample. Really? I might be back but probably not. Tall Zack said he can't talk. He is working. I am a customer.

Clutch Brewing is a go-to brewery for me because 1. it is on my way home from work and 2. it is inside one of my favorite places, Keg and Case. If you haven't been, Keg and Case is an old building that is like a mini market. There are a bunch of local businesses inside and then Clutch has the entire second level. The cool part is the brewery is on the edge of the market so you can enjoy a cold one while looking down on all of the businesses. Their menu isn't huge but I would say they have about 10 beer choices (maybe more, sorry if I underestimated). I usually go for their IPA which is delicious. They have some seasonal beers that I will also try if they are my type of beer. For seating, you can either grab a seat at the bar (limited) or their are a lot of tables all around the top. They have a few spots with large couches and chairs if you are lucky enough to grab one of those. The beer does have to stair upstairs though so I would suggest grabbing food first. Clutch also has a shelf of games if you are looking for some entertainment while you sip on your beer. All around a good time!

So, I absolutely love the space, the nooks with cozy couches and chairs are perfection! I am a firm believer that all restaurants/coffee shops/bars/etc. should have these and any place that does wins my consumer heart over instantly. As far as the beer goes, we tried 3 taster sizes and weren't smitten by any of them (the hefeweizen and 2 dark ones). Generally I love dark beer, but these were both just too IPA-y for me. Because of the location, the great ambiance, and my affinity for patronizing local businesses, I will definitely return and give more of their beers a try!

This is a newer brewery within the keg and case market. It's on the second floor. There wasn't a big variety of beers but they did have a sign that the would be more, as they are pretty new. The beers were either stout or ipa. I like lighter beers and hefeweizen so I was a little disappointed. I had the sweet Jane stout. It was pretty good. The service was very helpful and gave me a couple tasters which was great. I got there right after they opened so it wasn't too busy. Upstairs was seating that was also for the shops downstairs so it got pretty crowded. It was nice but not my type of beers. I did have a comfy couch to relax on!

Delicious beer and cozy area. Spiffy chaise loungers. Built a floor above Keg&Case market so plenty of access to amazing food and nifty crafts.

Great atmosphere, good beer, Clutch is most definitely worth a stop. There is also a lot to do in the keg and case market downstairs, which adds to the appeal. Try the Sweet Jane if you like a good milk stout, if not, there are some other unique options to choose from.

Awesome beer in a really great location. Highly recommend this one of a kind brewery.

Been there a couple of times as it is my neighborhood brew pub. I received friendly service and they have a good product.

Very cool unique brewery with the upstairs overlooking the whole kegs n case market. Beer is great with a good variety from stouts, Pilsners, and IPA's. Bar area is cool, but there is also tons of seating as it's the whole upper level. It's also very nice being able to bring food up from the market and grab a drink.
