Sad news about Molson Coors closing the Leinie’s Brewery in January. I feel so bad for the employees, many that have spent their lives working there. Also, for the city of Chippewa Falls. Most of our friends or family members that have come to visit have always wanted to make a visit for a tour. I’m not sure what’s to come, but in my opinion there’s not too many more iconic buildings in the state of Wisconsin than the Leinenkugel Brewery. I truly hope they’ll be able to preserve the building for tours. It would be a true tragedy to see a piece of history disappear.

What makes us human is having thoughts and many times we’ll disagree about those thoughts or opinions. Not that long ago […]
