Nitty-Gritty Tour Details
How do I buy tickets for the daily tour?
You can buy tickets here on our eTix page. Click HERE .
Can I only buy tickets online? How does it work?
Currently, all tour tickets can be purchased online ahead of time. Purchase through the link above. Any space on tours that didn’t sell online can be sold as walk-up tickets. Weekend tours tend to sell out ahead of time, plan ahead and purchase larger group tickets in one transaction.
All ticket sales are final and cannot be refunded.
Is there an age limit for the tour?
That’d be a resounding “yes!” All patrons on the premise must be 21 with a valid ID or under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. Aunts, uncles, brothers, and sisters are not legal guardians. The tour is geared toward adults (PG-13), but kids and families are welcome at their own discretion. Kids 12 and under do not require a ticket but must but must remain next to their family for the entirety of the tour.
For non-beer drinkers, we offer our Golden Maple Root Beer as well as Coke products. Wine is available for guests over 21 as well.
How large of a group can I bring?
Each tour will be limited to 35 people. If looking to get a table in our Beer Hall following the tour, we offer open seating that is first come, first served. Once you have a table, food can be ordered at our food counter and drinks are available at our main bar. Our patio is also first come, first served seating when available. Our patio offers bar service and our CurdWagon food truck on the weekends.
What's included in the tour?
Not only do you get 50 minutes with one of our practiced entertaining tour guides, you will also receive 32oz. of award-winning beer and a free beer coupon at one of many fine establishments in the greater Milwaukee area (good for 3 days from your tour day). Beer will be available before the tour as well as part-way through the tour. Don’t forget to grab your souvenir pint glass before you head out!
What days/times does Lakefront offer tours?
We currently offer tours 7 days a week with tour times fluctuating based on the season.
In general, you will be able to purchase brewery tours for the following days/times:
Monday – Thursday: 5PM, 6:30PM
Friday: 12PM, 1PM, 2PM, 3PM Environmental, 5PM, 5:30PM, 6:30PM, 7PM
Saturday: 12PM, 12:30PM, 1PM, 1:30PM, 2PM, 2:30PM, 3PM, 4PM, 4:30PM, 5PM, 5:30PM, 6PM
Sunday: 12PM, 2PM
(tour frequency increases and decreases based on the time of year)
I'm trying to book a tour in advance and I can't click on the date I want, why?
We have tours available for 2-month chunks at a time. For example, if we have April and May available to purchase, on May 1st at 9AM, June will become available. On June 1st at 9AM, July will become available and so on.
Still having issues clicking the desired date? Check to see if we’re closed for a holiday or private event by visiting the bottom of our homepage or give us a call at 414-372-8800.
What is the environmental tour?
Every Friday at 3PM we host our environmental tour. This tour is very similar to our normal brewery tour but focuses on some of the green aspects of the brewery. Sustainability has always been an important part of our operation here.
Can’t make the tour? Here’s link to our sustainability page:
https://lakefrontbrewery.com/about-lakefront/sustainability-efforts
What are my options after my tour?
All seating is first come, first served in our Beer Hall with food available through our food counter and additional drinks available at the bar.
1. Go out to our patio, weather permitting.
(our patio is all walk-up, first come, first served seating with counter/bar service)
2. Head upstairs to get a table inside our restaurant.
3. Move on to their next Milwaukee stop.
Any questions or additional needs, feel free to call ahead at 414-372-8800.
Where can I park?
Parking on Commerce Street (the street we’re on) is free and unrestricted as long as you don’t leave your car here overnight. There is a small parking lot on the northeast side of the building that contains disabled parking spaces if needed. Please be aware of pedestrians while driving and parking in our area.
Can I get a refund if I can't make the tour or some of my group can't make it?
All ticket sales are final. We do not offer refunds for any tickets purchased. Extra beers will not be given out for unused tickets. Please call ahead with any related issues.
Can I schedule a private tour for my large group?
During the week (Mon – Thurs), Lakefront offers private tours of the brewery for a minimum of 20 people (or the cost of 20 tickets) and a maximum of 35. The cost of the tour is $13 per person during the week. On weekends (Fri – Sun), groups are welcome to purchase all 35 available online tickets for a public tour to make it private for you and up to 34 others. The cost of the tour is $16 per person on the weekends. (we cannot give out extra sample tokens for unused tickets)
Private tour timing depends on business needs but we will do our best to accommodate the needs of each private tour group. All attendees must be 21 or accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
Private tours include:
Four 6oz. beer samples
Souvenir pint glass
Coupon for a Lakefront beer at a local bar
Entertaining guide all to yourself!

What's the difference between weekday and weekend tours?
On weekdays we are in production and cannot go through the entire brewery. Tourists can see much of the brewery and its equipment through glass windows, though. The weekday ticket price, usually $13, can fluctuate based on the holidays.
Weekend tours go through the entire brewery because we are usually not in production. Weekend tours are always busy and almost always sell out. The weekend ticket price is $16.
¿La cervecería ofrece recorridos en español? / Does the brewery offer tours in Spanish?
¡Estamos muy orgullosos de ofrecerles a nuestros clientes hispanohablantes la posibilidad de hacer un recorrido de nuestra cervecería famosa en español! Favor de ponerse en contacto con John directamente ( [email protected] ) para más información o para organizar de antemano su visita en español.
We are proud to announce that our nationally renowned brewery tour is now available in Spanish! Contact John at [email protected] for more information and availability. Tours must be booked in advance.
Can I use a Lakefront gift card to pay for a brewery tour?
Unfortunately, our gift card system isn’t connected to our online ticketing software. If you’re looking to grab spots in advance, we ask that reservations are made and paid for ahead of time. Upon your arrival, we will refund the total cost of your purchase and swipe your gift card for that amount.

Menu as captured Sep 1, 2026 · source ↗
We hold 209 venues in Milwaukee, WI and could score 30 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 = sourcing 0.0/50 (named-farm 0 distinct, named-region 0 distinct, attribute 0 distinct, buzzword 0 distinct) + farm partners 0.0/20 (none scored) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.0/18 (capped at 35% of the 0.0-point evidence base).
Buzzwords only. This venue uses sourcing language ("farm-fresh", "locally sourced") but names no farms, regions, or verifiable attributes.
