Whether it’s beer or answers you’re looking for, we’ve got it.
I can’t get leinie’s where i live. Can i have it directly shipped to me from the brewery? Help!
Sorry, we cannot ship Leinie’s directly to customers. Federal and state laws require that we sell our beer-to-beer distributors, who in turn can sell the beer to the retail stores where customers can buy it. We’ve brewed Leinenkugel’s® for almost 158 years and we plan to continue brewing in Wisconsin for many generations to come.
Where can i find leinenkugel’s®?
We hope you can find Leinenkugel’s® in your refrigerator! But all kidding aside, your local Molson Coors distributor can tell you if Leinie’s can be found in your neck of the woods as our beers are distributed nationally. You can also check out our Beer Locator under “Where to Buy” on Leinie.com
Does leinenkugel’s® brew a non-alcoholic beer?
We currently do not have any plans to brew any non-alcoholic products.

Check out the beers section of the website to find out what we currently have on tap.
I live in the upper midwest and can’t find leinie’s light. What’s the deal?
Leinenkugel’s® Light is currently only available in select areas within Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois. So if you want to enjoy a Leinie Light and live outside WI, MN, and IL come visit us at the Lodge in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, for a sample.
Does your beer have an expiration date?
Yes, we do. It’s the “pull date” – which represents the suggested date the beer should be enjoyed by and is still at its freshest. This date is located in the neck area of your Leinie bottle. The pull date is the first of two lines of type and is always in the following format: MM/DD/YY, which represents the Month/Day/Year. The second line represents the day of the week (A for Monday, B for Tuesday and so on) - followed by the Brewery Code. “01” is Milwaukee, WI, “04” is Forth Worth, TX, “20” is Chippewa Falls and “21” is Leinenkugel’s® 10th Street Brewery. The next two numbers are the line number and the following four numbers represent the military time code that the beer was actually bottled/canned, so “1056” is 10:56 a.m. and “2233” is 10:33 p.m. All beer is best when it’s fresh. If your pull date is a few months away, you know you have a pretty fresh brew.
What does “crafted” mean?
It’s used to describe a brewing attitude where the art of brewing is practiced, along with the use of select malts, hops and yeasts.
What happened to my favorite Leinie’s flavor?
We constantly look at our family of brews to determine the best mix to satisfy our loyal Leinie fans. We know that everybody has a favorite beer. Sometimes we have to make a tough choice to hibernate a certain beer in order to be keep up with the demands of some of our most popular beers such as Leinenkugel’s® Summer Shandy, and to continue innovation through our pilot systems in Chippewa Falls and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Can you give me the quick history of leinenkugel’s®?
Leinenkugel’s brewing history began when brewer Matthias Leinenkugel brought his family over to the United States from Germany in the 1840s. The family continued to travel west and finally settled in Sauk City, Wisconsin. Matthias taught his sons the art of brewing. It was his third son, Jacob, who traveled north to Chippewa Falls. Jacob felt sure the thirsty lumberjacks and lumber-booming economy of Northwestern Wisconsin made Chippewa Falls the ideal location to begin his own brewery. In 1867 Jacob began brewing. For almost 157 years and six generations, the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company® has remained a prominent brewer in Wisconsin. In addition to our year-round offerings such as Leinenkugel’s® Honey Weiss, Berry Weiss, and Original, we also brew seasonal beers such as Oktoberfest and Grapefruit Shandy®.
Where is leinenkugel’s® brewed?
The Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company® brews our award-winning beers at Molson Coors’ brewery in downtown Milwaukee.
How do beer distributorships work?
Beer distributors act as intermediaries between breweries and your favorite bars, restaurants, and venues! Operating under a three-tier system, preventing monopolies and ensuring regulatory compliance. They handle logistics, storage, and transportation of beer.
I have diabetes. Is it okay for me to drink leinenkugel’s® beers?
We suggest you contact your doctor for advice specific to your health.
What is the fat content of leinie’s brews?
Leinenkugel’s® beers contain zero fat. Fiber content is very small in most beers because the grains used in brewing are filtered out before bottling, canning or kegging. There are some unfiltered brews, like Hefeweizen, that contain more fiber.
