Fun tour of the brewing company. Great selection of beer. Chippewa Falls is a lovely small town city.

No tours due to COVID. I would have happily donned a mask and stayed 6 feet away from my tour guide in order to do a tour. It seemed like a nice place though.

One of the best breweries that I have ever been too. Not only is the beer good, but the brewery itself is very historical. Definitely worth the drive from Minnesota to visit!

A very beautiful area for a walk, and to learn about the history of Leinenkugel's. The extremely oversized adirondack chair (complete with GIANT cupholders) is hilarious! The buildings are wonderfully balanced, looking both old and new at the same time. The walk by the river is very pleasant. A great company that makes really great beers (my personal favorite is the Grapefruit Shandy with friday fish fry).

Deep in the heart of Chippewa Falls, Leinenkugel Brewery displays a representation of culture and virtue.Bathrooms very clean and nice. Tap listings for beer even better! Tour was a little hit and miss ($30-2020); Tour guide was a little different and felt rushed.Would go back again and seeing from what they advertise, they have a lot of different events! Go check them out and get the canoe paddler!

I have taken the tour of the brewery on two separate occasions and would even consider going back. The tour guides are very friendly and are prepared to answer just about any question. You get to see historic buildings and the inner workings of the brewery. Even though the tour didn't change between my two visits, I still walked away feeling like I learned more about the company and different beers. Beautiful buildings, well kept grounds, and lovely gift store.

2 of 2Please read picture attached first******DUNT DUNT DUNT DUNT****** Few minutes passed....I'm still watching the door for them to come out. Oh, then I see a cop walking up to the building....then I see him scanning the parking lot....I knew then he was there for me so I turned forward in my seat and waited.......Said he got a call that someone was passed out drunk in their truck and their kids were passed out in the truck and running around the parking lot almost getting hit by vehicles. ARE YOU F******* KIDDING ME?! That's not even the worse part! His partner snuck up on us out of the blue almost like they were trying to do a sneak attack on me or something.....WHAT THE..... then his partner reaches in the window and starts touching my son to make sure he was alive. Everyone walked out at this point and they were furious! My sister almost wanted to return all the merchandise she just bought because of it but didn't want to deal with them anyone. I will see if she wants to add a review on her side of the story.....So; will not return, will tell everyone I know never to step foot in there!Also I would like to mention when my children and I were walking out after deciding their prices were too ridiculous for us to go through a big Ford truck came flying by the entrance at about 30 MPH and swung into a handicapped spot and almost took out all of us (three old ladies were screaming that were right beside us heading in) So here is someone who deserves to be called in! For reckless driving but nothing was said about that.... And how is it okay that they offer all these tourist beer after beer after beer all day and let them get into their vehicles to drive in public under the influence...........Perfectly safe! (NOT)My Last note is the cowards that work here continue to keep deleting my review because apparently they are humiliated by their actions and rather than doing something to fix the issue they try to cover it up so I will continue to post wherever I can and as often as I need to until they learn that what they did is wrong and people deserve to read about it. Being a US Veteran and a Certified Federal Drug & Alcohol Trainer I take my safety and the safety of my children very serious so for them to accuse me of such nonsense is complete brutality!

Even though the tour was short it was very informative. I recommend choosing the 5, 5oz tasting over the 3, 14oz tasting unless you know exactly what you want to drink.

Great beer but a boring brewery tour where you can't drink throughout the process. Also, you can't buy individual beers or individual samplers (only sold in batches).I love Leinies so hate to give a mediocre rating but I expected more from a place that's off the beaten path.

The beer isn't my favorite, to say the least... However, the staff is very kind, the tour is longer than most, and you see a good deal of their production facilities in a brewery that's over 150 years old. It's a well-spent hour.
Basically a gift shop with a bar in it. Events looked fun and tour was very informative and you get either five 5oz samples or two 12oz samples before the tour or after. Good time. Go to the website for times and info!

excellent tour, and a amazing gift shop. very enjoyable tour, not for kids. But a very cool experience

I've been on a lot of brewery and distillery tours and this one has been hands down the best of them all. It was so much fun and had great drinks afterward all for a very reasonable price.
John Mayotte
Very informative and fun! Our tour guide Katie was very personable and liked fielding questions. Definitely worth the time.
Daniel Lane
Tour is cheap ($5-$10) and includes beer and a glass. History and the tour itself is pretty fun. I'll ding one star because Leinenkugel is trying to sell itself as an independently own craft brewery. They don't mention that they sold out to Miller in 1988. Still great beer, but not the most honest.
