Known for a full range of styles

Jacob Leinenkugel founded the brewery in 1867, and the family name still sits on a broad Wisconsin line-up: a classic lager, a dark lager, a honey weiss, a hazy IPA and seasonals such as Oktoberfest and White Mocha Stout. Molson Coors announced in November 2024 that it would close the brewery in Chippewa Falls and bundle production in Milwaukee; the Leinie Lodge and its pilot brewery stay.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
