Lakefront Brewery tour guides believe that people want to go on a brewery tour for 3 main reasons: to drink beer , be entertained and see the place - so you get a beer right when you walk in the door!
At "the most fun brewery in America," guides tell dirty jokes & visitors swig full beers at tent bars . If you’re lucky enough to be there on a Friday night, stick around for the polka-fueled fish fry . Read more
Huge beer hall type place. Cool environment. Cheese curds and beer hall pretzels are to die for. The pretzels in particular are a great value . Also had their Fixed Gear and IPA and enjoyed them both.
Friday night fish fry , $10 tour is among the best best brewery tours I've been to and your 10 spot gets you 4 sample beers and a pint glass . I recommend reserving a tour spot online beforehand.
Walleye was very good, my wife had cod which was okay along with the potato pancakes Delicious). Not a fan of the tarter sauce. Octoberfest beers were good (Marzen style). Pumpkin Larger was also good
This is the best of the brewery tours we've found here in Milwaukee. This place the most casual , friendly and cool vibe coupled with bomb-diggety beer . Maibock is my personal fave.
The longest standing “micro” brewery in MKE. They have a great tour and a very food brewery restaurant with a polka band and dance floor on Friday nights. The fish fry is an excellent one.
Get a beer flight ! All of the beers are excellent, one of my favorite breweries in the United States . The fried cheese curds are a must.
Love to visit craft breweries ... even if I've never drank or heard of them!!! The staff giving tour was hilarious and did great job ensuring everyone had fun!! $10 includes tour+4 beers+pint glass
Curds are legit! Fish fry delicious! German potato salad - no- tasted like bbq sauce . Mac n cheese yes. Beer tour is the best! Worth it all. Come here, visitors!
Always a great tour it was my second time being here and it was just as good as I remember in the great beers you get to have well being there doesn't hurt either
Take the tour - with four six ounce samples and a pint glass included, it's well worth it. Plus the insight into the brewing process. DO IT.
AWESOME TIME! buy your tickets ahead of time. Full tours are 10x better than the mini tours . Great beer and cheese curds !
Lakefront was my most favorite stop for beer . Some of the best beers I tried in WI and the tour was Hilarious !!! Good food can be ordered to soak up the beer .
Do the tour ! $7 and you get 4 beers , the tour and a free glass in the gift shop or $2 credit in the shop. Fun time, cool place and good beer ! Tours last 45min-1 hour.
Brewery tour was great!! Our tour guide Dylan made it awesome with his jokes & encouragement of our participation. Good beer & good times - definitely recommend it!
Amazing beer hall. Fantastic tours (sign up online in advance). Must stop for any visit to Milwaukee.
Take the tour . It's more like "happy hour with a guide." The tour experience varies quite a bit. My favorite guide is Nitro who once gave the tour drinking out of a huge glass boot .
If you're looking for an appetizer for your Friday night fish fry , definitely get the Polish Pops. They're phenomenal.
Best cheese curds and perch (during fish fry ) in town . Also best beer . Can't go wrong here at all. Tours for $7?!? You have to be crazy not to come here; local or not
Created by the Klisch brothers in 1987, Lakefront is one of the most creative breweries in Wisconsin and the brewery tour is a `must` when in Milwaukee. Long life to Lakefront!!!
There’s a reason why this brewery has been listed as one of the best tours , it’s hilarious ! Doesn’t take itself too seriously and the beers taste great too!
The technical tour was definitely worth the money. Josh, our guide, was hilarious and really enjoyed talking about the brewery . I highly recommend it.
Great beer of course! Best curds in city with an excellent fish fry . Also has the best brewery tour in. Brew City !
Fun tour and good food! Make sure you check out the waterside tables if the weather is nice!
Your is always fun! Fish fry is worth the wait-get the fishermans platter and potato pancake ! Cheese curds are best around! Oh...and don't forget to drink BEER !
Dance the polka to the sounds of the Brew Haus Polka Kings amidst bubbles from Lawrence Welk's bubble machine before diving into your crispy , beer-battered fish fry !
Do the tour !!! 7 dollars for four beers and a pint glass to take home not even including the awesome experience. Highly recommended!!! Loved it.
Take the brewery tour and visit one of the places on your voucher afterwards.
Beer and brats , excellent. Loved the beer hall .. kind of like Hogwarts but with beer !
You must take the tour , then get a bite to eat. Don't forget the cheese curds . Lightly fried with a pancko breading .
This is a top 3 international brewery tour I've been on. Very fun, great details, love the media center. And the beer is amazing, too!
Great food and AMAZING beer ! Get the cheese platter , the bacon cherry jam alone is worth it!
Can be a long wait for fun and amusing brewery tours . Big beer hall -- huge room with big long tables. As far as I know, the only place like this in Milwaukee. Food is OK. Beer is more the focus here.
Great Beer , great environment! The guided tour by Josh guy is the best! Sense of humour needed! Enjoy it!
Great place to hang out with friends. You will definitely get your money's worth here
If you're going to do one brewery tour in the Milwaukee area, this is definitely the one to do. Always informative and a good time.
Get the cheese curds . And the pretzels with beer cheese sauce . And the beer .
The tour is a must! $10 for 4 drinks and a nice glass at the end. It's a steal! Don't forget to try Fixed Gear, a pale red ale , you don't want to miss!!
Nice brewery for when you are with a group of friends. Lots of tables, good food and different kinds of beers .
If you get Evan as your tour guide you're in for a great time. The question answer is 1. And you will learn what hops cousin is...apparently Evan is found of it.
Take the tour ! And save your plastic glass to trade in for real glass at end of tour
My favorites were the Fixed Gear Amber/Red Ale , IPA , and definitely the Wisconsinite. The organic and gluten-free beers were also tasty. Read more
If you're a first time visitor, sit down with a flight of your choice, a plate of cheese curds , and enjoy life.
Beer tours can be kinda boring, but the staff here keeps you very entertained. Brats on pretzels were delish too.
Friday Night Fish Fry is the place to be. Cheap beer and delicious food, make sure to sit out back if it's nice out and enjoy the riverfront.
Good beer , good food. The brewery tour is a must. Be prepared to spend a couple of hours.
So good! The tour , the beer and they now have great good.
Lakefront Brewery hosts a bevy of vegan friendly ales , stouts , lagers , and more. Our favorite? Wheat Monkey—a light bubbly and crisp pale wheat ale .
Curds and tremendous beer . Bring your family and friends.
Surprisingly good beer. Get the happy hour on Saturdays at least a couple days in advance - Jimmy
It's a great tour. Free samples T the end and the staff is awesome and so friendly. - James C
Great hard seltzers, beers (especially stouts and dark beers), and their speciality — smoothie hard seltzers! - Anisha Gupta
