I've been on a handful of brewery tours (Miller, Harpoon Brewery in Boston, Schlafly in St. Louis, and the AB one in St. Louis is at least an annual trip for me) and this one was hands down the most fun tour I've ever been on. It's not a free tour, but the cost was pretty minimal and you get... More

The tour at the lake front brewery was awesome! Hands down our the best brewery visit we've ever experienced. Our tour guide was James and he was hilarious! My husband brews beer at home and we even managed to learn a few more things. I'd tell you more but I dont want to give away any of the funny stuff... More

I've been on several brewery tours in multiple in various states, and this is by far the most entertaining brewery tour I've ever been on. Very interactive and so funny!! You learn all the same ol' same ol' about how beer is made but they add comedy to it. Fun times....definitely have a DD or take a cab b/c you... More

The Lakefront Brewery offers a hilarious tour. I've gone on several occasions, each time having a different guide and I've enjoyed each experience I've had there. I definitely recommend it! More

Located on the fringe of downtown Milwaukee, a great way to spend a couple of hours drinking beer and touring this small but busy brewery. $7 entry fee gets you 4 beers BEFORE the tour (5 if you participate with the lively tour guide); 1 free pint at one of 15 bars in Milwaukee, and either a free pint glass...

The Lakefront Brewery tour is a blast! I'd recommend booking tour tickets online to avoid waiting when you arrive or not being able to tour because there all full! When you arrive, before you start your tour you grab a beer to take on the tour with you... once on the tour, its knowledge filled with a ton of laughter... More

I don't even drink beer, and I loved this place. You pay $7 for a tour of the brewery, four beer tokens and a free pint glass (or a $2 off coupon for something from the gift shop). The tour is improved by letting everyone take a drink with them (even the tour guide has one), and our tour guide... More
