Last year Mark, Silke and I started a beer brewery tour / camping weekend. This year we set our sites on Wisconsin. Touted as the 7th oldest brewery, the Leinenkugel Brewery located in Chippewa Falls, became our spring camping destination.
We arrived at our camp site at 10 pm and after much trouble, and a midnight run to Walmart, Mark’s tent was finally up and Silke and I settled into our own tent.
Saturday morning arrived gloriously bright and sunshiney.
Mark and Silke cooked their ‘famous’ Kraken, Bacon, Potatoe and Eggs breakfast, while I loaded the Nuevi with directions.
After ending up in on the right street in the wrong town, oops my bad, we got to the Leinenkugel Brewery just in time for our scheduled tour.
The tour of the brewery was very informative and took to about 30 minutes. But that time we were anxious to get back to the Leinie Lodge. Let me tell you, the Leinie Lodge is a sight to see. As part of the tour you get 4 free drink chips to sample your favorite Leinenkugel beer. Not only is the beer cold and delicious, you can also mix and match any flavor on tap. Wow, they came up with some very exciting mixes, like the Honey Bear and the Sunset Wheat. Intrigued? Head on over to Wisconsin and make the Leinie treck.
We had loads of fun, learned more about brewing beer (we toured the Schell brewery in New Ulm, MN last year) and tasted our fair share of the tasty Leinenkugel beers. Click here to visit the official Leinenkugel Brewery website.
With the state parks in Minnesota being closed now due to the Government shut down, now is the perfect time for Minnesotans to visit Wisconsin. Might as well go someplace where the Government actually functions on behave of the people and knows how to get the job done.
Prost, Nick
Be watchful when consuming too much beer since it can end up in alcoholism. Ofcourse if you’re an enjoyer of life just like i am then you may not care!
