Wow.
After 157 Years, Chippewa Falls’ Leinenkugel’s Brewery is Closing
Molson Coors plans to close Chippewa Falls brewing operations in new year, WTMJ reports
That longstanding Leinenkugel's brewery/ "Leinie's Lodge" IS Chippewa Falls. If this closure goes though, they're going to be hurting...
What will they do with that historic property? (In St. Paul, the Schmitz brewery is now artists' lofts...)

While the brewery will close, Erhardt says Molson Coors will keep the Leinie Lodge and its pilot brewery open.
"Ever since Leinenkugel’s joined Miller Brewing in 1988, the brand and Chippewa Falls have been a cherished part of our company and culture. That’s not changing. Leinie’s Summer Shandy and the rest of the portfolio will continue to play a role in our premiumization plans, and the Leinie Lodge and adjacent pilot brewery will remain open year-round for guests to enjoy and experience the Leinenkugel’s beers and history.
