Minneapolis: Day 1

The final leg of our trip began with us leaving Milwaukee fairly early in the morning, for us anyway. We wanted to make a stop in Chippewa Falls and visit the Leinenkugel's brewery, and it was definitely worth the early departure.

The tour costs five bucks and lasts around 45 minutes. You also get a souvenir glass and five samples of whatever kind of Leinenkugel's many brews they have available at the time.

Tip: Pay attention to the signs around the bar. They have some great recommendations for mixing the different kinds of beers.

The tour was great. Our guide, Ethan, knew all his information and kept it lively with some funny stories and jokes, some funny because of how cheesy they were. The only negative part of the tour was that we couldn't take pictures inside the brewery to share with our wonderful readers. I guess you'll have to take our word for it that it was a fun and informative trip.

The inside of the lodge, which was next to the brewery, was very nice — all wood, resembling a cabin. It had tons of souvenirs, a place to have fun pictures taken of you and those with you, a bar, and a place to buy Leinenkugel's to take home with you.
