Local Breweries

This is a staple to Chippewa Falls. I was a tour guide there for six years, and the beer discount was kept me working. Daily tours are available. Tip: tours during the week days are more likely to see production.

City advice

Getting around

Uber & Lift is a great way to get around town.

I've used Uber lots of times in Eau Claire. Note - on slower nights like Sunday nights, it may be harder to secure a pick-up. Its happened to me!
