BREWING UP SOMETHING FUN!

Barrel Yard Brewery & Restaurant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Be the first to taste fresh exciting exclusive flavors from our hard-working brewers, let us know what you think and what we should brew next.
Leinie Lodge Pilot Brewery
Since 1867, Leinenkugel’s has been brewing up good vibes in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. The Leinie Lodge is the home and heart of brewing & Leinie's family tradition. Right next to our original brewery, it's your spot to dive into our story, sip fresh brews, and hang out in true Wisconsin style.
Inside the Lodge, our Pilot Brewery is where the magic happens today. Led by brewer Jeff Rogers, this small-batch setup is all about experimenting with bold new flavors and reviving hibernated favorites like Sunset Wheat and Apple Spice. This is where some of our newest brews like Leinie Lodge Lime and Lakeside Cherry were first brewed and taste-tested by our most loyal visitors—so well-loved, they made their way to shelves. With over 20 rotating beers on tap, plus fun Brewology mixes, where we take two Leinie’s beers blended together to create unique combinations. There’s always something new to try — only here in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin at the Leinie Lodge!
Kick back on our dog-friendly patio, play some bags, and soak up the laid- back charm. Thirsty for more? Join us for special events like Pilot Night, Summer Kick-Off, Beer Releases and Paws & Pints — or even take a behind the scenes brewery tour with Matt Leinenkugel himself. Planning a party? You can rent the Lodge, patio, barn, or brewery for weddings, birthdays, or any big moment to raise a Leinenkugel's to. Ready to visit?
