Lakefront offers the best brewery tour I have been on so far! $6 buys you a plastic cup, four drink tickets, and a coupon for a free Lakefront beer at a bar in the area. The tour was not too short and not too long. The tour guide was hilarious; she was a grade school teacher doing brewery tours as a way to earn a little extra (probably beer) money. She kept us entertained the whole time, which in hindsight probably wasn’t that hard considering the amount of beer we were consuming throughout the tour. The only downside to visiting the brewery is a limited tap selection. I wanted to try the IPA and some of the seasonals, but all they had were the year round regulars. Ah well, still highly recommended.

This review is for the tour as well as the private parties I’ve been to. The tour is awesome. I never walk(stumble) awy not satisfied. It’s informitive and fun. Plus you get to drink the whole tour. I’ve been to a couple weddings and their annual new years party also. Talk about heaven All the lakefront beer you can drink and the food is phenominal. I’m lucky enough to be going to another wedding in October.

What a great tour to go on. Right along the Milwaukee River, as unappealing as that sounds, it was definately more then worth the money. Our tour guide ( co-founder of Lakefront Brewery) was entertaining to say the least, and very informational. It was a great place to see and I recommend checking it out if you’re in the area."

Had a absolute blast touring the brewery. the founder, Jim, walked us around, gave us a tour, made us laugh, pounded some beer, made us laugh some more, then came out and tailgated with us. Founder isn’t pretentious at all, he’s just a dude who loves to drink beer and wants to share it with other people. Fun time, the beer isn’t all that great, but hell, for $6 it’s definitely worth it.

I’ve done the tour and the fish fry at lakefront, and both are certainly recommended. The building is a little hard to find, but has a nice location tucked against the river. You get to drink before, during, and after the tour, which is short, informal, and funny. The fish fry was excellent and the polka band provided entertainment. Most of Lakefront’s brews are available.

Our tour guide, Bob, made the tour a delightfully fun and interesting event. The brewery seemed to exhibit what the spirit of micro brewing should be. We were given 3 samples to enjoy and all were quite good. The restaurant is German style seating which means many people sitting at the same table. We met some interesting people at our table. Music was provided by the Polka Kings and they were pretty amazing. Lots of dancing and laughter resulted from this fun music. All of our group, even the wives who are not interested in beer, would go back to Lakefront Brewery anytime.

One of the most fun and most informative beer tours that I have been to! The owner walks you around and is fun and candid. You actually learn a great deal of info! The beers are on tap or available for bottle (single or six) purchase. Logo wear is available and cheap. A MUST visit.

Took a Saturday tour which cost $5, which included a pint glass. Nice place. They have Larry, Curly, and Moe painted on three of the brew tanks, which is kinda funny and interesting. They also own Bernie Brewer’s chalet from County Stadium, which you can see there. The beers were really good, and the people there were pretty nice. Definitely worth the trip there, even if it cost $5 to sample the beers.

Our family had a blast! We toured the brewery on a Friday evening - had a great tour guide - very friendly and knowledgable. Plenty of samples. After the tour, we went upstairs for the Friday Fish Fry and Polka Dance. Very good family entertainment.

I was very impressed with my visit to the Lakefront brewery. The establishment is cool, the beers aren’t bad, and the tour is entertaining. Lakefront is in a huge old building in the Riverwest neighborhood along the river. You start off (after paying) in a large room sampling, unlike any other tour I’ve been on where a sample comes afterwards. The tour was conducted by John (Zutz?) whom I recognized (he is very recognizable) from the Blessing of the Bock festival he led and organized a few weeks back. He was funny and interesting. You drink as you tour, and afterwards there are more samples. Quite nice.
