Did you ever think you’d be an official taste tester at Leinenkugel’s? We trust our loyal Leinie’s drinkers to let us know if they are loving our newest beers!
Thanks for taking our surveys, Cheers!
TAKE THE HOP HARVEST ALE SURVEY
This beer makes its return for the third consecutive year and is unique because of the use of fresh/wet hops picked and harvested by hand just down the road at Hoppertunity Gardens in Elk Mound. Normally, the hops are dried and pelletized but by not doing so, the delicate oils are retained and shine through in the final beer. This year, we added Centennial and Cascade hops which have floral, lemon, grapefruit and pine notes. All rounded out perfectly with the use of all local barley malt, wheat malt and oats to make a smooth finish.
TAKE THE VANILLA SNOWDRIFT PORTER SURVEY
Leinenkugel’s Snowdrift Vanilla Porter is a hibernated winter favorite back for the holiday season, brewed only here at the Leinie Lodge. It's a fuller-bodied beer brewed with roasted malts for a flavor with hints of cocoa, coffee and caramel. Snowdrift is aged on real vanilla for a smooth, creamy taste that makes it perfect for warming up by the fireplace in freezing temps.
TAKE THE BIG EDDY UBER OKTOBERFEST SURVEY
Big Eddy Über-Oktoberfest is a bold, imperial-style Märzen originally released in 2013 as part of Leinenkugel’s Big Eddy Series. This hibernated favorite brings a richer, toastier take on traditional Oktoberfestbier, brewed with Munich and Vienna malts and dry-hopped for added complexity. Expect a higher abv, deep malt character, subtle spice, and a smooth, warming finish — perfect for fall sipping with a big nod to Bavarian tradition.
TAKE THE BIG EDDY BLACK PORTER SURVEY
Big Eddy Black Porter is a dark, full-bodied lager with rich notes of toffee, cocoa, caramel, and dark fruit. Brewed with a blend of pale and specialty malts, including dark crystal Belgian malt and roasted barley offering a complex flavor profile with hints of toasted bread, licorice, and roasted coffee, finishing clean and crisp. While supplies lasts, it's also available at Chippewa Falls' Wissota Chophouse & High Shores to honor a local Leinie's fan.
