It's all brewed in the 10th Street plant in Milwaukee, as far as I know.
The Chippewa Falls operation is for the tourists.
"It's all brewed in the 10th Street plant in Milwaukee, as far as I know."
The following is from the Leinenkugel website under 5th generation history:
The sale of the brewery to Miller gave Leinenkugel's the opportunity to share its heritage, quality products, and love for the Indianhead area of Wisconsin with more beer enthusiasts. Instead of falling along the wayside, as so many other small breweries have, Leinenkugel's has been able
to expand and update the Chippewa Falls brewery and
brew a family of beers for a variety of tastes. Leinenkugel's also purchased a small brewery in
Milwaukee in 1995 and named it
Leinenkugel's 10th Street Brewery.
(This brewery's facility is used to
make Leinenkugel's Special Ale and
helps handle the increasing demand
for Leinenkugel's specialty brews.
