Good time and great beer. The employees are very friendly and knowledgable. The tasting bar is large with some seating for those that don't want to stand.

The Leine Lodge is fantastic - tons of beer-related merchandise to peruse (clothing, candles, soap, glassware, decorations, etc.). The tasting room is unique in that they let you sample combinations of their beers that have nicknames - e.g., Honey Weiss mixed with Creamy Dark beer for "Honey Bear". Great beer, historic brewery. Note that the bottling plant does not run... More

We stop here every year on our way up to our cabin in Hayward and we've never had a bad time or a bad beer. The Lodge is a great place to walk through and do some shopping while enjoying your free beer samples. We always try different blends of beer and my current favorite is a Red Sunset....50% Leinies...

This is a great free tour... you even get free drinks! The tour was very interesting if you are into the brewery stuff and the gift shop is also impressive as well. I found some cute cowboy boot can coozies for relatively cheap. It's a great way to try a bunch of their beers as well.

The tour of the brewery is free. It's short but contains a ton of information. It was very fun. The gift shop was wonderful..lots of variety at decent prices. They also gave us the opportunity to sample 5 beers for free and had free soda for kids.

We were on a family road trip, and on the way decided to go on the brewery tour. It was very fun for everybody, because it is not something you see everyday. The guide did a great job, and had fun with it. It was interesting, and the Lienie Lodge for the samples is fun, with many cool things to... More

This was an excellent experience. Chippewa Falls is a beautiful town, and the Leinenkugel's brewery is pristine. It's situated along a nice clean stream, there are the original buildings, dating back to 1867, along with the lodge/gift shop, which is a nice timber frame building. Inside the brewery, the equipment is modern, and there is nothing within the facility or... More

I went to the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewery back in December and I have to say I was blown away. The tour of the brewery is free and extremely interesting. Just wait until you get to the bottling plant and you get to see their massive bottle washer, that washes somewhere upwards to thirty thousand bottles at a given time. After... More

The free tour was extremely interesting. Hard to believe that this one small brewery supplies all their various beers. After the tour you get to sample 6 types of their beers - anything you want. The store is very big and stocked with all things Leinenkugel.
