Leinie Lodge

The Leinenkugel Family Brewery was founded in Chippewa Falls, WI, in May 1867 by Jacob Leinenkugel. A family man driven by an iron work ethic, Jacob knew that his family heritage would play an integral part of his brewery's success. Today, the fifth generation of Leinenkugel's continue to brew the same family inspired recipes that Jacob poured his heart and soul into. Over the years, the family has grown and so has the brewery, but its history and heritage remain at the forefront.  Take the tour and let our Lodge Guides introduce you to 149 years of craft beer brewing and Leinenkugel family history. We’re open year-round; tours and beer tastings cost $5.00 for those 21 and older and you will receive a souvenir glass. A portion of sales will be donated to water conservation efforts for Little Lake Wissota, our hometown lake. After you’ve quenched your thirst, feed your hunger for all things Leinie’s at the Leinie Lodge. Our gift shop has everything from tap handles to Leinie beer bottle lamps so you’ll walk away with the perfect souvenir to remember your trip to The Chip.  So we can maintain our tradition of old-world hospitality, if you have any questions regarding our brewery tours please call us at 1-888-534-6437.
