Brewery Tour - Southern Valley Edition

Discover the many fantastic local breweries the Chippewa Valley has to offer with one of our fun (and tasty!) brewery tours. Our region has been brewing beer since way back in the 1850s. And what started with thirsty lumberjacks (and a truly staggering amount of saloons) has evolved into a beer scene with a focus on keen craftsmanship and a flavor for every beer-drinker. On these tours you’ll learn a bit about that history, as well as the stories of the contemporary breweries you’ll visit today.

On this Southern Valley Edition of our Brewery Tour, you’ll enjoy a trolley ride around town and through the scenic countryside to the sprawling and historic Northwoods Brew Pub in Osseo, and to a mix of two stops at microbreweries including K-Point Brewing in Eau Claire, Ombibulous Brewing in Altoona. At each brewery patrons will receive a short talk or tour from the staff and enjoy an included glass of beer. This tour is 21+ only, and lasts approximately 3.5 hours.

Some breweries also serve food and you are welcome to order food if you wish. We do strongly recommend ordering small bites or apps upon arrival to the brewery. In order to stay on schedule, please refrain from larger orders. We would recommend checking out their offerings in advance if this is something you might be interested in. Breweries that serve food include: Northwoods Brew Pub, Ombibulous, and K-Point Brewing.

Depending on weather, be prepared for the trolley to be set up enclosed with sliding windows, or open-air with brass railings (and roll down curtains in case of rain). Appropriate clothing layers for heat/humidity, or cool breezes, is a good idea.

All alcoholic samples or product offered as a part of this tour are provided to those 21+ for free by each establishment.
