stevens point brewery

The tour was nice and enjoyable. Went on a Saturday and very busy. Make sure you make reservations days ahead. Tour guide very friendly. Because it is winter and a Saturday, the bottling part wasnt running. Would like to have seen that in action. Had many flavors to choose from in tasting. Our 7 year old enkoyed tour also and loved that she got to taste the different sodas. Get nice beer glasses at the end. Daughter got a root beer mug. Would recommend the tour. Great history.

We have been to several breweries in Wisconsin, and we loved this one the best. The white stout was amazing. The tour was fun, but the beer is the best. The end of the tour is limited, the tasting is right there in the brewery so there is no separate taproom, we wanted to stay longer but the next tour was coming in.

We've done this tour a few times. I think its my favorite. The Point Brewery has lots of history, and is growing! It has been neat to watch the changes. We'll do this one again in the future.

The tour is typical of all brewery tours and you can take as many pictures as you want anywhere. I would suggest signing up online ahead of time as it does get very busy. Good variety of various beers and soda available after the tour, free popcorn too.

Fun place to visit with a great gift shop. looking forward to visiting next summer in September for their annual event.

After discovering this beer last summer in the Wisconsin Dells, and having some limited success finding it in the Twin Cities and having my parents pick it up for me in Chicago, it was finally time to visit Stevens Point and tour the brewery. Tour was fun, although I thought Ashley spoke way to fast and seemed to rush us through. The tour is only a half hour, and then you get a half hour to enjoy your 3 samples. Gift shop was smaller than I expected, but still allowed us to buy product as well as souvenirs. Look forward to going back!!!

We didn't expect much based on the outside and gift shop, but we had a lot of fun. $3 for a tour and 3 tastings. And you could win additional tastings on the tour by answering questions. Tastings were very generous (if we go again we would ask if they could split into two different beers). They have such a wide array of beer, and had everything in season available to try. Hannah our tour guide was great, friendly, fun and after the tour poured our beer and answered more questions during our tasting. Tour was informative, close to the action, although not running on a Saturday. Given it is one of the oldest breweries in the us, i would have liked more of the brewery history, but overall we had a great time. We did call for a reservation, which is reccommended on the site.

We missed the last tour which is at 2:00 but they still let us going to the tasting at 2:30 for $3. The tasting was great. Our favorite beers were the Oktoberfest, Pumpkin Ale & flavored Ciders. The brewery is very clean, it seems like it has been remodeled within the last 10 years. The gift shop had a lot of good, quality items to purchase. And you can buy all the beers that you tasted their too. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area to stop by.

Always wanted to do the brewery tour at Stevens Point Brewery and finally did it. I;ve been enjoying their beer for over thirty years and now like it even more. Great tour that lasts about 30 minutes and then beer tasting for the next 45 minutes. Lots of beer choices and even really good soda pop to choose from. A very nice atmosphere and a well stocked souvenir shop made my group very happy. I also walked out with a growler of fresh Point Brewery beer! Highly recommended!

My husband and I came here on Monday, June 9, as part of our vacation itinerary! The reason we opted to come here, is because a year ago, we were introduced to The Point soda and we loved it. So, when planning this year's vacation, we wanted to see where it all began, per se! While the gift shop may be small, I enjoyed visiting with the staff while waiting for our tour to start. Right from the get go, one wants to learn MORE and MORE! I give high marks to this brewery for putting safety first (requiring one to wear closed toe shoes) and for allowing guests to take photos! Our tour guide was beyond awesome, even though I can't remember her name, despite writing it down during the sample tasting at the end of tour :( I find it interesting, that even though the "basics" are the same for every brewery, be it craft brews or the big names, each one does something along the way to make theirs unique! I also found it interesting and pretty cool that one can have "special" labels put on the Point products, for a fee, of course, depicting a special occasion or event! The sampling at the end of the tour was fun and my favorite was the Peach cider! My one and only suggestion would be - offer smaller samples, therefore allowing one to try more product! Other than that, the fee for this tour is well worth it, especially if you get the tour guide we did...she ROCKS!!!!

Last year while in Chippewa Falls, at a café, my wife and I were introduced to Point Soda. Later that same vacation we found a butcher shop that sold us 4, 4pks (We bought a 4pk of each kind) at $2.00 a bottle. Two months later that year we had to be in the Twin Cities and drove to Eau Claire, WI. (Closest town that sold it by the 4 pack) to buy every 4 pack of the soda they had. Their Orange Cream is the best I have ever had.This year we were planning a vacation in Central Wisconsin and decided to make a reservation to tour the brewery. We arrived and were pleasantly greeted by the staff behind the counter, paid for our tour and walked around the gift shop waiting for our tour to begin. When our tour started, my wife and I were getting a private tour, which was informative, very personal and casual. Our tour guide (I wish I could remember her name, Ray.... something) was very energetic, had a wonderful personality and made the tour a wonderful experience. We were later joined by another couple, but the tour maintained it's positive energy. After hearing about the history of the plant and the mascot, viewing the process, the packaging area and their Beer Heaven, we ended up in the hospitality room where we could sample 3 of their products. She proceeded to name off every thing they make at the brewery, which makes your decision extremely difficult. My first selection was, "JP Casper - White Stout." One of the best brews I have tasted. It went down very smooth and I remarked, I could get into serious trouble drinking this. It does not taste like a stout beer, there is white chocolate brewed in, so it tastes more like a milk shake. My next selection was, "Ciderboys Raspberry Smash." Did not care for it at all. Thankfully my wife was with as she likes the fruitier brews, so she finished it and I used one of her coupons for another choice, which was "Amber Classic." It was good and tasted more like the craft brews I have had. My last choice was the "Onyx," a very dark, robust and heavier beer, more like a stout. The samples were at least 8 oz. each, and since my wife and I tried different brews, we actually got to taste 6 of their large selection, and enjoy three of them. I wished they gave smaller samples and the option to taste more of their product line. We left without buying any beer in the gift shop. Several Tripadvisor comments were to buy it elsewhere, it would be cheaper. True, but we had a hard time finding Point Beer in any of the stores we stopped in and never found our favorites the whole time in Wisconsin.I would highly recommend you add this to your traveling plans, one of the best craft brewery tours we have taken. We were already sold on their sodas, now we like their beers as well, which I will have to keep in my memory because the closest place to purchase their products for me is 223 miles away.

Nice little side trip: reasonable cost for the tour, plus 2 complementary beers / sodas. Plenty of gifts in gift shop. The beers, especially the pale ales, are excellent

Great staff handling the customers, accommodating, friendly and informative. Pretty good beer, would have liked to see a cleaner brewing area.. yeast drippings and puddles on the floor.... But glad they fit us in for the tour.

From Start to Finish this brewery has it all! Great history and tour guides that know exactly what they are talking about. Old world history is here perfectly blended with modernization. A gift shop that has something for everyone is topped with excellent quality! You are sure to find a beer that will fast become your favorite and do not forget to try their soda's. Perhaps some of the worlds best kept secrets are all found right here so come in see and taste for yourself.

Point Brewery is a well know local beer. The Brewery gives tours and tasting and has a small gift store. They produce several seasonal beers.Personal favorite is Point Amber.
