The Lakefront Tour has become an Milwaukee institution and a "must-do" if you’re visiting or move to Milwaukee. The tour guides are generally knowledgeable and are trained to make the tour fun and slightly rowdy. The Friday night tour is especially rowdy (be prepared for a bunch of college kids that pre-gamed before hand). The beers are pretty good, nothing will blow you out of the water though. The Fish Fry and polka band on Friday’s is fun as well. It’s definitely a fun tourist attraction. Not that I promote Miller in any way, but it’s sorta interesting to go on the free Miller tour and see the sheer magnitude vs the small scale craft brewery. I think the tour guides at Lakefront state that Miller pours out more beer in a day than Lakefront brews in a year.

Visited today with MeisterBrauMHB. I’d wanted to do the tour for a long time. It’s a very simple tour, but the guide spiced it up quite a bit by 1) serving us beer before, during, and after the tour, and 2) being the co-founder and brother of the current owner. He was very personable, a real Milwaukee character. The facilities are simple, but the interior of the building has a really cool German beer hall feel to it. The beer itself was great too. I’ve been a fan of their products, particularly their Riverwest Stein Beer, for quite a while. Also, for the value, it’s awesome. For $7 you get the tour, 4 six-ounce tasters of beer, a Lakefront Brewery pint glass, a discount on merchandise, and a coupon for a free Lakefront product at one of several bars in the area. That bears repeating but I’m running out of room. Basically, just go and do the tour.

One of my favorite breweries. The tours are enjoyable and a good value. All of their beers are absolutely drinkable. You aren’t going to find anything over the top, but there is something for everyone.

Big warehouse style brewery with a few bar areas thoughout. This place is all about the tour. I’ve been on boring brewery tours before but I’ve got to say this one is a lot of fun. Our tour guide was hilarious and you could tell he really enjoyed what he did. You get a lot of beer and a glass for the admission price and it’s a great deal if you ask me. All the beer seemed solid with some being excellent. This place is a blast.

Old, almost mill on the river feel. One of the best tours in the area with the right guide. Never have been a fan of their beers, however. Would recommend for the experience alone.

A Milwaukee ’must’ - location/building/ambiance are all you could want in a brewery. Huge tasting room upstairs with lots of tables, outdoor area on the river with more tables and a bar area (was being used as a ’secret stash’ by a construction guy when we were there). Beer is good, nothing over- or under- whelming, just good. Can’t imagine visiting Milwaukee without going here.

My advice is take the tour! I spent $5 to see how this splendid brew was made by a very entertaining employee then was treated to sample their taps afterward. On top of the fact they made sure your sampler was always topped off they gave us full sized pint glasses for free on our way out. To really drive home the point how awesome the people of Lakefront Brewery are, when we went they had to ask the tour to leave early because they were hosting an event. Understanding that we were still having a merry time, they treated all my friends and me (9 of us!) to free beers at the bar down the road. They really are great people that make really great beers!

Went specifically for the once-a-week environmental tour with the President. Jam packed tour, lots of people doing the Riverwalk brewery thing. Very large place, and lots of staff helped ease the crush, as well as the slightly laid back nature of the locals. Corny tour, but hey we like corny jokes. very generous with pouring lots of beers on tap to taste. Very nice area with tables in back to complete the tour. A good deal, lots of tours available. One bartender really knew his stuff and that’s the one I stayed near for recommendations and knowledge.

Home of the best brewery tour in Milwaukee! Get there an hour+ ahead of your desired tour time.. Nice ’lil gift shop and plenty of cold refreshments at the bar. Freshest & best IPA I’ve had was at the bar waiting for the tour, soooo good! Never have had their food but I hear they have a good fish fry. Always a GREAT time!

Tour guide was funny as hell cracking about a dozen jokes a minute. Most entertaining brewery tour ever.
