"The leinie lodge was so fun! We stopped in on a Saturday and were able to get in for a tour. Our tour guide was so nice and knowledgeable she was wonderful! We enjoyed the beer garden afterwards and tasted some pilot beers. I had the pomegranate shandy and it was delicious!"
Megan Geske
"While they are not using the original brewery, Leinenkugel's in Chippewa Falls is still open, giving tours, and serving great beer! They are doing some amazing things in the Pilot Brewery in the Lodge, and the Barrel Yard in Milwaukee.
At the Lodge, they have the typical Leinenkugel brews, PLUS the brews they are making in the Pilot Brewery and the Barrel Yard.
I had an excellent Maibock (Helles) today while Kris and Pat enjoyed the Bourbon Old Fashion and Sandy had the Grapefruit Shandy. I can also recommend the Barrelman Ale, Dry Hopped Pilsner, Big Eddy Imperial Stout, Octoberfest, Northwoods Amber, Dark Lager, Tropical Hazy IPA, Northwoods Amber and Lakeside Cherry.#Linenkugels.
