 Leinie Lodge FAQ
I can't get Leinie's where I live. Can I have it directly shipped to me from the brewery? Help!
Sorry, we cannot ship Leinie's directly to customers. Federal and state laws require that we sell our beer-to-beer distributors, who in turn can sell the beer to the retail stores where customers can buy it. We’ve brewed Leinenkugel's®for over 145 years and we plan to continue brewing up here in the Northwoods for many generations to come.
Where can I find Leinenkugel's®?
We hope you can find Leinenkugel's®in your refrigerator! But all kidding aside, your local MillerCoors distributor can tell you if Leinie’s can be found in your neck of the woods as our beers are distributed nationally. Check out Where To Find Our Beers section of Leinie.com or call the Leinie Lodge to find a retailer near you.
Does Leinenkugel's® brew a non-alcoholic beer?
We currently do not have any plans to brew any non-alcoholic products. Our brewery is of a regional size and while we brew many Leinenkugel® brands here, we are at capacity.
Do you have tours of your brewery?
Yes, we have tours of our original brewery in Chippewa Falls, which was founded by Jacob Leinenkugel in 1867. Tours and beer tastings cost $5.00 for those 21 and older and you will receive a souvenir glass. A portion of sales will be donated to water conservation efforts for Little Lake Wissota, our hometown lake. For more information or to make a reservation, please call 1-888-Leinies (1-888-534-6437).
I heard you have a special "club" for people who love Leinie's. What's it called and how do I become a member?
The Leinie Lodge is a fellowship of men and women who are 21 or older and love and appreciate the outdoors almost as much as they love and appreciate Leinenkugel's®. It's the Northwoods in a chilled bottle, can or keg that you can tap into anytime and any place where Leinie's is served. Your FREE membership gives you the privilege of receiving a membership card, the Leinenkugel® Legend - the official newsletter – distributed several times a year that includes special offers and surprises. Go to the Leinie Lodge section or call 1-888-Leinies (1-888-534-6437) and tell the folks at the Leinie Lodge that you wish to be a member. So, start the membership process and remember, once you're a member of the Leinie Lodge you'll never lodge a complaint!
How many brands of beer does Leinenkugel® brew?
We’ve tried hard to encourage folks to discover the refreshing world of beer for over 145 years. We know one beer can’t fit the taste preferences of all people. But we do believe there’s a beer style for everyone’s enjoyment! The Jacob Leinenkugel® Brewing Company brews many year-round and seasonal brands of beer that reflect The Flavor of the Northwoods. Check out the beers section of the website to find out what we currently have on tap.
I live in the Upper Midwest and can't find Leinie’s Light. What's the deal?
Leinenkugel's® Light is currently only available in select areas within Wisconsin and Minnesota only, so if you want to enjoy a Leinie Light and live outside WI and MN to come visit us at the Lodge in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin for a sample.
Does your beer have an expiration date?
Yes we do. The "pull date"—which represents the suggested date the beer should be enjoyed by and is at its freshest. This date is located in the neck area of your Leinie bottle. The pull date is the first of two lines of type and is always in the following format: MM/DD/YY, which represents the Month/Day/Year. The second line represents the day of the week (A for Monday, B for Tuesday and so on) - followed by the Brewery Code. "01" is Milwaukee, WI, "20" is Chippewa Falls and "21" is Leinenkugel's® 10th Street Brewery. The next two numbers are the line number and the following 4 numbers represent the military time code that the beer was actually bottled/canned, so "1056" is 10:56 a.m. and "2233" is 10:33 p.m. All beer is best when it's fresh. If your pull date is a few months away, you know you have a pretty fresh brew.
Why don’t you sell all your beers in cans?
Our Leinenkugel's® Original, Light, Honey Weiss, Summer Shandy and Berry Weiss are available in cans. The majority of craft drinkers prefer bottled or tapped beer, which could change in the future, but hasn't yet.
What does crafted mean?
It’s used to describe a brewing attitude where the art of brewing is practiced, along with the use of select malts, hops and yeasts.
What does the stein on the side of your Leinenkugel® beer labels mean?
The stein on the side of our Leinie beer labels indicates the beer inside is over 3.2% alcohol by volume.
What happened to Leinenkugel's® Northwoods Lager, Amber Light, Autumn Gold, Winter Lager, Creamy Draft, Auburn Ale, Maple Brown Lager, Big Butt, Apple Spice and the regular Leinenkugel's® Bock?
We constantly look at our family of brews to determine the best mix to satisfy our loyal Leinie fans. We know that everybody has a favorite beer. (The challenge is how many different styles can the physical brewery brew in a given amount of time to quench the taste preferences of the market.) Sometimes we have to make a tough choice to discontinue a certain brew in order to be able to keep up with the demands of some of our most popular beers like Leinenkugel's® Honey Weiss, Berry Weiss, Sunset Wheat and Red Lager.
Can you give me the quick history of Leinenkugel's®?
Leinenkugel's® is the nation's 7th oldest operating brewery. It has a rich history, which began when brewer Matthias Leinenkugel® brought his family over to the United States from Germany in the 1840s. The family continued to travel west and finally settled in Sauk City, Wisconsin. Matthias taught his sons the art of brewing. It was his third son, Jacob, who traveled north to Chippewa Falls. Jacob felt sure the thirsty lumberjacks and lumber-booming economy of Northwestern Wisconsin made Chippewa the ideal location to begin his own brewery. In 1867 Jacob began brewing. For 140 years and five-generations, the Jacob Leinenkugel® Brewing Company has survived and continues to prosper through commitment to their founders ideals of brewing and operating with excellence. Having survived prohibition, the economic demands of World War II, and fierce competition, Leinenkugel's® has become the leading craft brewer in the Upper Midwest. In addition to our year-round offerings—Leinenkugel's® Sunset Wheat, Honey Weiss, Berry Weiss, Red Lager, Creamy Dark, Classic Amber and Original - we also offer seasonal beers such as Oktoberfest and Summer Shandy.
How many breweries does Leinenkugel's® have?
The Jacob Leinenkugel® Brewing Company has two breweries. Our award-winning craft beers are brewed at our 145-year-old original brewery in Chippewa Falls and our 10th Street Brewery in downtown Milwaukee. The 10th Street Brewery was purchased in 1996 to help keep up with the growing demand for Leinenkugel's®.
Tell me about Leinenkugel's® advertising.
Leinenkugel's® is all about great-tasting, craft beer brewed for over 145 years in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. If you love the outdoors, high-quality full-flavored beers, traditions and the simple things in life, you'll identify with Leinenkugel's® advertising. If you have a witty, Northwoods sense of humor, you'll love Leinie's ads as much as the beers. Leinenkugel's® utilizes radio, outdoor, print, sampling, and word-of-mouth to reach the craft beer enthusiasts in the upper Midwest.
I have allergies. What are the ingredients in your beers?
You can find the list of ingredients for our beers on our Beers pages on our website or they are listed on our beer bottles. If you have a wheat (gluten) allergy, we suggest you contact your doctor for advice specific to your health.
I have diabetes. Is it ok for me to drink Leinenkugel® beers?
We suggest you contact your doctor for advice specific to your health.
What is the fat and fiber content of Leinie brews?
Leinenkugel's® beers contain zero fat. Fiber content is very small because the grains used in brewing are filtered out before bottling, canning or kegging. There are some unfiltered brews, like Hefeweizen; but presently we're not brewing one.
Why do you have a Native American Indian on some of your beer labels?
The Native American Indian who graces our label is a symbol of the rich heritage of our area. Leinenkugel's® has been brewed in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, for over 145 years. The Santee Sioux and Ojibways were the area’s first native settlers. Chippewa Falls also lies in the heart of what is called the Indian Head Country. The Indian Head area was so named because the border of the northwest corner of Wisconsin forms the profile of an Indian. We've featured the Native American Indian on our label since the 1930s as a tribute to this special area that is rich in Indian history.
