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 is happening at Tangled Roots through October 27, and the Brat Burger is bringing the flavors of Bavaria straight to your table.

A handcrafted blend of ground beef and pork bratwurst is topped with sauerkraut, melted Swiss cheese, Märzen-brined onions, and spicy aioli, all served on a soft brioche bun with truffle fries.

Pair it with an Oktoberfest Märzen for the full experience.

A new pasta has landed at Tangled Roots.

Our Chicken Cavatappi alla Vodka brings together cavatappi tossed in a creamy tomato Parmesan vodka sauce with basil and mushrooms, topped with crispy chicken breast baked with mozzarella and finished with a drizzle of pesto.

Rich, comforting, and ready for dinner.

Beware of the canal creature! It might seem soft and inviting with a double helping of zesty hops, but this beast has a bite. It floats along on rolled oats and lightly caramelized malt, making it alluring and welcoming, but stay too long, and you'll be crushed with tropical fruit flavors and carried away by the citrus aromas! The Canal Creature doesn't mean any harm, but it's still best to enjoy it from a safe sipping distance. Now available in cans.

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!
