7 Best Craft Breweries near Altoona

“They have a good selection of beer and I really like the atmosphere there. They have shuffleboard, board games and other things to do while enjoying some locally brewed beer. I like that they have a lot of seating options (bar, high tops, low tops) and sometimes have live music! The beers are very affordable Ranging from $3 5oz tasters to $8ish dollars for high ABV options but most land around $6 for a 16 oz which I find reasonable for specialty/locally brewed options. I love that the upstairs is open so even when you’re up there during live music, you can still hear it. A super cool place that I would definitely visit again!“

“We always have a great time here! We did the tour about ten years ago and then our second time today. Bridget was great and the beer is always delicious! ?It is also dog friendly on the patio and they have fun beer truck events. Thanks to Bridget and all the great Leinie staff, we will definitely be back. ????

Parking: Easy parking and dog friendly!“

“Such unfortunate news that this location is closing. They offered a great tour and a great experience. I fear that in the future the brand will just be known for a couple of its seasonal instead of all the other great brews they make and the history of the yeast they use.“

“finally, place with some great sours and different flavors besides the normal iPad. great place and great atmosphere“

“We were passing thru EauClaire and heard many good things about LAZY MONK. We knew we had to try it. The beers were very good. We espeacially liked the Octoberfest ,the dark Bohemian one and the Kolsh. The bartender was on theball to serve and very informative.All of this and Dog Friendly too. We will be back.

“Ask for their apple pie vodka on the rocks you won't be sorry! Cream soda for those who don't drink or are sober cab, best cream soda I've had in a very long time! Only one bartender today, they seem to think that holidays are going to be as slow as a normal Monday! But if you like beer, or flavored vodka you won't find a better place! Leinenkugels sucks in comparison.“

“They had me at Garlic vodka! 😃 Horseradish was a close second. Everything I tried was delicious, there are so many amazing vodka flavors: Blueberry, cucumber, dill, espresso, ginger, lemon zest, strawberry, raspberry, peach, apple pie, black tea, and more!!! Also whiskey (7? flavors), schnapps, & gin (including lavender, and one can never go wrong with purple beverages). Really great service, too, and beautiful location, along Chippewa River and very close to bike/walking path. Perfect view from rooftop seating area, maybe a bald eagle or 3 meandering by. ❤️🤍💙 I also learned about "Black Cap" so stopping in was part of my continuing education journey. 📚 Bonus! 😇😇😇“
