In 1867, the Leinenkugel family started making beer in Chippewa Falls, Wis. To celebrate 150 years of family brewing traditions, the Leinenkugels are throwing a party – and you’re invited.

The event runs from Aug. 11-12 this summer at the Northern Wisconsin State Fairgrounds in Chippewa Falls. It will feature live music, food, shops, games and, of course, beer.

There will be four stages of music with headliners Jerrod Niemann on Friday and Collective Soul on Saturday. Ongoing tours will take place in the brewery, which is next door. Guests will also have the chance to meet members of the Leinenkugel family, sample beer, eat local food and play outdoor games.

Two-day advance tickets are $35; a one-day advance ticket is $18; tickets at the gate are $20.

For more information or to purchase tickets, go here. Attendees must be 21 years old or older.
