Leinie Lodge

A fun place to hang with friends and drink new leinie flavors. Interesting decor, indoor and outdoor seating, stunning river views. Food options are limited but there is often a food truck outside with more choices. The staff is friendly and helpful. The flavors options seemingly endless. Dogs and children welcome.

If I had a complaint, I would say the parking lot is small, the bathrooms were smaller (it's a brewery, people are gonna have to pee). There were lines for both men and women's rooms.
Lastly that there was little to no wasp control. Enough wasps that we and others ended up playing musical chairs trying to avoid them and there was one small child who was stung while we were there.

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.

The tour is a great value. They go through the entire brewing process with a small group of people which is the right size for any questions to get answered.

We had a wonderful time at the Leinie Lodge! The lodge itself is huge with plenty of seating. Beers were actually pretty cheap and fantastic. We especially enjoyed their German style beers. I had expected mostly shandies, but didn’t realize they have more than that to choose from. We also loved that they are dog friendly outside. Service was quick and friendly.

I’ve been here twice now, spring 2022 and yesterday. Great experience both times, loved the tour, beer from the tap is really good, the vibe in the lodge is awesome, and lots of good fly fishing nearby.
