Great tour Nana was very informative and has a lot of history facts! The lodge is beautiful and the grounds are as well.

Very relaxed, comfortable setting. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Food truck was great for quick food to eat while we were chatting and drinking. Also ordered the large pretzel from inside. Service was fast. Gift shop was awesome. We all left work something. Our tour guide Audrey was a 10/10!! Sweet, friendly, very knowledgeable, kind, and great at her job. Highly recommend her! read more

Stopped in and tried the Bavarian pretzel with sour cream & chive tater tots -- both were really good! The pretzel was warm, soft, and perfectly salted, and the tots were crispy with tons of flavor. Everything tasted fresh and hit the spot. Definitely a great place to grab a snack and relax. I'll be back to try more! read more

We stopped by on our way through Chippewa Falls and we were delightfully surprised by the size and atmosphere of the lodge. There was plenty of seating, a wide range of Leinie offerings, loads of merch, and pricing was reasonable. I'm sure this place is absolutely packed in the summer, but they do have a patio as well. Highly recommend stopping by for a pint. read more

A tasty basic Pretzel available at a low price point. The staff were very helpful and lowkey, if you need something approach them. The environment is a typical brewery vibe. Very family friendly, we saw a lot of babies. read more

Wow what a sick place! Traveling through Chippewa Falls and what a better place than this to stop for a couple pints :) Obviously tried the $5 happy hour pints! I love a light and refreshing beer, so the brewology mix was right up my ally! The cherry lemonade with their red berry and summer shandy was actually one of the best things I've tried! Will be making those all summer. The fuzzy bear was a close second with a mix of their honey and berry Weiss. Not too sweet. The bartender was helpful in suggesting which brewology to choose and did so with a smile! Great place! read more

Love, love, loved this place! Kind of sad that they stopped actual production here, so the tour lacked a little bit of luster, but definitely recommend! read more

Love this place, so many beers to choose from I did the flight. They also have indoor/ outdoor seating and a great gift shop. Dog friendly! I highly recommend doing the tour for $17 dollars, it's a full hour of the history of the beer company and Nana is a great tour guide. I really enjoyed my visit! read more

This place was packed on a late September Saturday. Some people, like us, were there to do a full tour, while others were just enjoying a drink. There were also many high school seniors dressed up to take photographs outside and indoors--this is quite the local landmark. The lodge itself is large, containing an extensive bar, sitting area, merchandise shop, and patio. A short walk across the bridge is the actual brewery. Our tour guide was great. We were never bored on the hour-plus tour as we learned about Leinenkugel family history, local history and the evolution of the brewery, and the science of beer making. The tour was family friendly, as there were several kids along. The adult tour price includes tickets for flight-sized beers back at the lodge, which can be redeemed before or after the tour. I'm not a big beer fan, but I really enjoyed myself here. read more

A must-stop if you find yourself in Chippewa Falls or Eau Claire! We attended the 4pm brewery tour, and it was quite extensive and well done! We went inside the brewery (pro tip: if you go in the summer wear short sleeves because it's HOT in the brewery) and saw where and how the beer is made, the bottling factory, and the current flavors they are producing! A fun fact is that all their brewing equipment was made in Germany. Afterwards you get 4 tasting tickets to try any 4 beers of your choice! My favorite was the grapefruit shandy and the Strawberry Hefeweizen they have currently in their test brewery! They have a ton of great merch so of course I also had to pick myself up a shandy T-shirt! Great time! read more

We had an amazing time visiting this weekend. The beer selection is incredible, the gift shop is loaded and employees are wonderful. I left something laying on a table during the visit, I called the next day and Brianna couldn't have been nicer and tracked down my pullover. She offered to ship it to me as I am from out of town. I also spoke to Jane as I ordered additional items to be shipped with my pullover. Everyone could not have been nicer and more accommodating. We will be back for sure. Thank you Leinie staff!!!!! read more

Your quintessential tourist brewery. I only ever knew them for their shandy but their lagers are actually very good. Definitely get the peach beer if they have it. They offer a lot of tours and their taproom is a glorified gift shop. The service was excellent and if we're in the area I would 100% stop in again. The taproom isn't dog friendly and can get pretty crowded but their patio is spacious and pups are welcome. read more

Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing( Leinie Lodge is the name of the tasting room of theirs here )have had in the past but it was considerable amount of time that has passed since I had their beer so I figured it was time for a refresher. When I think about this brewery Shandy and sweet Berliner Weisse style beers pop into my head but they make other beer styles as well like IPA'S , Spritzens, Bocks and Helles style beers as well. I went with what I normally associate with them on and got a Berry Weiss. Specifically it was a raspberry and blackberry flavor so it did indeed came in sweet. The beer was pretty good. Just slightly passed "too sweet" but not bad.The tartness and the light body of the beer made it very manageable and drinkable. With a low ABV and not being too overwhelming in any particular way it would be easy to have a few if your mind was set towards doing so. read more

Being a Summer Shandy officiando all summer long, I was excited to check out the home of my favorite warm weather staple! Easy to find, with plenty of lot parking, the outside of the space screams lodge! Upon entry, it kind of feels like a massive gift shop with everything you can imagine Leinenkugels branded. Upon further investigation, you find a large bar and plenty of seating options. We loved how it was decorated for the holiday season! Service was extraordinary and the beers were only $5 a piece! While you can find your favorite Leinie classics, the taproom also has some other exclusives to try! Where the Leinie Lodge stands out is it's Brewology mixes. They have a curated list of different mixtures of their various beers, which gives you access to another myriad of choices! Try one or a flight...you can't go wrong! Such a fun stop on our road trip to Milwaukee from the Cities! Will probably stop again when the weather is a bit warmer and we can enjoy some of the outdoor seating! read more

What a fun place! Leinenkugel beer is always fantastic. They are widely distributed so we drink it in AZ but this is my first time enjoying it at the actual brewery. The tasting room is very nice and Chipawa Falls is a beautiful spot. So many trees, the river, and the hills. Didn't take the tour due to timing but that's okay. We had a great time enjoying some beer with family. We had a tasting flight of the juicy peach, hefeweiss, fresh hop red, Jacob spring, canoodler, and bumble bee. Then I enjoyed a pint of lemon haze IPA mixed with juice peach. So tasty and $5/pint is a deal. We had a coupon for buy one, get one so even better deal. But I made up for that savings in the merch area. They have really cute stuff! read more

Driving from MN to see family in WI we had to stop at the Leinie Lodge "Inspired by Jacob Leinenkugel's cabin, the Lodge is a space for guests to enjoy great company and delicious beer." You can even take a brewery tour to get the behind a scenes look! There are 5 tour options to choose from ranging from 1-1.5 hours Beer is on point, the patio is really nice, and the employees are friendly. What more could you ask for?! This will become tradition to stop here moving forward! read more

The lodge is a neat space. It's all about selling merch and beer, but it is a business and a brewery after all. Tours used to be free with free beer, but Coors Molson wants every penny. That's too bad. It is the 7th oldest operating brewery in the US. The brewery is beautiful and it's a great tour. The beer is decent for macro beer. read more

We walked in and only had 20 minutes to chug a beer and leave. They were closing for a private event. Place has a good vibe, the merch and ambiance might be better than the beer itself. I didn't see the event advertised, so kind of a bummer to actually be in the area and then not even really get to experience it. This was a random January Friday evening read more

I have been a fan of Leinie's for years and years and have always wanted to make a stop at the lodge in Chippewa. This past week we finally were able to! The service is great, beers are a good price and the live music is the best. The inside is pleasing to look at and feels clean and cabin like. They have food trucks at times and if not, the cheese for the pretzels inside is delicious! They rotate the beers for the seasons, so it is nice to always try new ones. Definitely a must stop if are in the area! read more

I've been a fan of Leinenkugel's for a long time and this was a bucket list stop. What a fun place! We had a great tour guide, Hannah. The inside of the lodge is a great place to hang out and try some amazing beers. The pretzels and the "spicy" mustard are a must do, to go along with your beer sampling. Everyone here seems to enjoy their jobs and gave great service. I look forward to going back soon! read more

I've been wanting to come here for years, and alas, we finally had the opportunity to visit Chippewa Falls and the birthplace of Leinenkugel's beer. While I still like their beer, the Leinie Lodge is a bit underwhelming. Yes, they have nice seating and overall ambiance, but I was disappointed at the drink selection: I thought they would have all of their beers on tap, but the two I wanted were not offered. The store itself is just so/so, it's fairly large and has a nice museum, but the gear was fairly unappealing. This was an ok experience, but probably not worth a long trip either. read more

Beautifully decorated for Christmas. Amazing staff. Friendly and attention. Memorabilia and clothing in a variety of sizes and styles.

While traveling through the area I came across the Leinster lodge. Having visited all the other major breweries located in the Midwest I had to visit this place. I took the tour which was very informational and fun. Sampled a bunch of different beers of Leinenkugel that I had never had previously and met some other like minded folks. Great experience, fun gift shop and friendly staff. Must visit for beer lovers! read more
