Breweries in Northwoods

The Northwoods covers the pine forests, lakes, and mill towns of northern and west-central Wisconsin. It holds two of the oldest breweries in the state — Leinenkugel's in Chippewa Falls, brewing since 1867, and the Stevens Point Brewery, pouring since 1857 — alongside modern barrel-aging icon Central Waters in Amherst. It's a region built for a road trip: supper clubs, lakeside cabins, and taprooms that feel like the reward at the end of a scenic drive.
