We brew locally, serve chef-driven dishes, and create unforgettable experiences. Ottawa, IL is home to The Lone Buffalo, our first restaurant and the home of our original craft brewery. It’s also home to our hops and barley farm, whose crop we use to create our authentic Farm to Foam beers. At the heart of the Lone Buffalo are the large twin copper brewing kettles, imported from Bavaria, and admired and enjoyed by fans far and wide.

Oktoberfest calls for a little bit of everything.

The Best of the Wurst is our take on a classic German sausage spread, featuring b**r brats, curry brats, kielbasa, sauerkraut, pretzel bites, Obatzda cheese, dill pickles, and a medley of mustards.

It’s built for sharing, but we won't judge if you keep it all to yourself.

Available during Oktoberfest through October 27.

A proper Oktoberfest needs a proper b**r.

Our Oktoberfest Märzen is a classic German-style amber l***r, fermented and cold-aged for a minimum of six weeks. The result is a clean, malty b**r with a subtle caramel character.

Oktoberfest Märzen
Malty & Mild | 5.9% ABV

Available now on tap and in cans at The Lone Buffalo. Prost!
