“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!“

“Nana was such a joy to spend time with! Her tour was interesting, history filled and informative. She shared some Chippewa Falls "spots not to miss", which we thoroughly enjoyed!
If you're in to discovering smaller towns and different things, you will not be disappointed!“

“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!“

“My eye doctor recommend we take The tour since we were camping only an hour away.. the tour was only an hour long but our guide was great. Group was small which made it more friendly. The lodge is awesome. Beer is great. My fav is Berry Weiss. The Dark Larger is another great. Huge selection of merchandise. 4 free samples are included in purchase price. Definitely recommend.“

“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.“

“After checking out the menu for Chippewa River Distillery online, it was determined that we would be here for a while. So much so that it completely changed our plans and a room at a nearby hotel was booked! They have something for everyone. While vodka seems to be the main event, you can also get beer, whiskey, gin, etc. Definitely try a bloody and one of their many, many specialty drinks! The staff is friendly and the space is awesome. Can’t wait to continue working my way through their menu ;)“
