About Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company
Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company is a brewery in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Its website says Leinenkugel's has been brewing here since 1867. Visitors head to the Leinie Lodge, which sits directly across the river from the original brewery.
The Lodge taproom keeps more than 15 Leinenkugel's beers rotating on tap. A small Pilot Brewery inside the Lodge, built in 2022, makes exclusive beers you can only drink there. The taproom also mixes two beers together in what it calls Brewology recipes.
In the warmer months, the beer garden patio sits along Duncan Creek. The website calls the patio dog-friendly and lists a local food truck there on Fridays and Saturdays. It also mentions live music throughout the year.
Brewery tours run based on availability and advance booking. The Lodge can also be rented for private events. More people have reviewed Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company on Google than any other brewery, taproom or beer shop in Chippewa Falls on this site.
