With plenty of local breweries to choose from, the top three are just the tip of the iceberg! For the sixth year in a row, the king of the hill is The Brewing Projekt (1807 N. Oxford Ave., Eau Claire) with its flights, IPAs, and artistically designed cans. Next is the 155-year-old Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Co. (124 E. Elm St., Chippewa Falls), whose offerings range from the beloved Leinie’s Original to contemporary classics like Summer Shandy. In third place, Lazy Monk Brewing (97 W. Madison St., Eau Claire) hits the spot with Czech- and German-inspired lagers, porters, and stouts, including the unique Peanut Butter Milk Stout. — Will Seward
