Lion’s Tail Brewing

My friends and I have come a few times for trivia nights on Wednesday evenings and even though I keep wanting to check out some more places for trivia, we keep coming back! I love breweries but I actually dislike IPAs/Lagers/Wheat beers so I'm always looking for places that have a wider variety. Lion's Tail has a couple great stouts and sours that I stick to. The brewery itself doesn't offer food but every time I've gone there's been a food truck outside (they also post which food truck/when on their IG) and you can order from Sendik's across the lot that will deliver to your table. Now that it's almost summer, their outside patio has been PACKED! And the ordering/bar area is an open air right into the patio. Then they have a separate interior area where they do trivia so a LOT of seating available. For anyone interested in trivia nights, this is probably my favorite of all the places I've been to based on it's large room/available seating and the speaker system (some places it gets hard to hear based on speakers or how loud people are).

Awesome taproom with an open seating area both indoor and outdoor. Lots of kids and lots of dogs outdoor, so perfect if you're a dog lover and enjoy meeting new buddies. Personally, I'm all about the vibes, and this was pretty good (with awesome friends, which made it better). Hubby wasn't too impressed with the beer selection, though (completely personal taste - our friends were quite enamored with their selection). Along with the fact that the taco truck was somewhat disappointing, the place doesn't make the A-list. But certainly a B+.We did try the Mystery Machine, Oat of this world, Double Mo's Juice, Little Crush, 1873 historic Amber lager, and Bourbon Trail (comes in a can, not tap)(Hubby liked this one). My favorite beer was the Juice Cloud IPA. I've come to the realization that I'm definitely an IPA girl and I definitely like mine cloudy. I'm between 3-4 starts... bump up for good friends---------I tried to find the Ochos mexican grill tacos food truck but I don't think they have a separate page. This is just a reminder of what i had and didn't like, and had no bearing on the review for lions tail. Service was friendly. Menu was weird.. Taco Place with 2 tacos+rice+beans = $16, but if you get them separately it comes out to $14. They did up their plate price but not the separate items, so it was probably just an oversight, but definitely order them separately! I guess if they read this review, their taco prices will go up... Tacos themselves were ok, though really tiny. Mini tacos. I usually am full with 2-3 tacos, but I'll definitely need more like 4-5 from here. Taste was ok. We ate cuz it was the only option to enjoy the taproom, but not my cup of tea.

Nice, open location with a variety of drinks and seating areas. The staff isn't always the most friendly or attentive so you may need to patiently flag someone down for a refill. Often has a different food truck outside, offering a rotating selection rather than just fried bar food. Worth a visit.

We have been a fan of lions tail since their original location opened in Neenah. I am a huge fan of sours and highly recommend their violet drink and haven't had a friend that disliked it! I also love the variety with seltzers as I am not always up for a beer. I wish their outdoor area was a little bit bigger as the patio table are oftentimes taken up but it's so nice having the rotation of food trucks come in!

The fact that Lion's Tail has been packed every single time I've driven by since the day it opened its taproom in Wauwatosa is awesome. Been a few times now, and with how regularly they add new beers to their menu there's always a reason to go back!I love the indoor and outdoor seating and am excited to see what they come up with for the winter because I'm pretty sure everyone in the area will still want to come no matter the weather. Its location also makes it perfectly walkable and both a quick place to stop for a drink or a place to stay and hang out for a while.I love that you can order food from Sendik's right from your table, and that Lion's Tail constantly has a different food truck there to support other local businesses. They've recently been adding events there as well to support local shops outside of the food industry. And the outside patio is pup friendly which is always a plus in my book!

Wow, it's no secret that the locals love this brewery. We stopped by on a recent Friday afternoon and this place was hustle and bustling. I think it's so loved not only for their beer, but the atmosphere. It's quite large, with tall ceilings, and is pretty much all open-aired. This allows for lots of visitors, including pet owners and families. We had our toddler in-tow, and all the space to roam around was greatly appreciated. Just be prepared for a crowd on peak days!What's also great is they have rotating food trucks pull up to their location, so there's always plenty of options to grab to pair with your brew. I really enjoyed the Orange Dream beer, it's a hazy pale and with a hit of orange but not too much. My husband (whose beer I cannot recall) was raving about what he had. The bar itself is definitely clean and well-kept, and the ordering process is really easy and straightforward. Overall a super solid spot that I wish I lived closer to!

We took advantage of a beautiful summer night by grabbing some food at another local place and taking it to Lion's Tail.They did have a food truck and you can actually place an order from Sendiks hot counter with a QR code on LTs tables. But we were in the area specifically to pick up food somewhere else so we had that.For drinks there's another QR to easily check out the menu and a bucket with slips of numbered paper and pencils so you write down what everyone wants if you're ordering for a few people because you do go inside to order. I tried the sour Pucker Patch which was really good and definitely had a little sour punch They are dog friendly and have self serve water out on the patio, with cups for people and bowls for the pups. Will definitely go back to check out their other offerings.

One of my favorite spots in Tosa! Beer: the beer is great - huge menu of brews from Neenah. I tend to stick to pale ales and IPAs but my friends also vouch for their stouts and darker beers. Service: everyone is incredibly friendly and it's a definitely a neighborhood spot! Food: there's always a rotating food truck and it's so fun to try new spots! You can also directly order pizza and pretzels from Sendiks which is awesome. Atmosphere: the place is huge and always lively! Love the patio too! Very dog friendly.

First time visiting and can't wait to go back!Stopped by for a late lunch and to try some of their brews. They have quite a few beers on tap and we just made it in time for their hefeweizen debut! Tried a flight which had some great options. Also liked the IPAs. Really great food situation too - you can order "to go" from Sendiks across the street for pretzels, pizzas, etc. Or, you can get food from the food truck. Opted for a combo plate at the food truck and it was great. Indoor facilities were clean, open and neat. They have lots of space to spread out and plenty of staff on hand to make sure you get your brews quickly. Great music playing throughout the space to help channel some mellow summer vibes. Will definitely be back soon!

Beer is fantasticBrewery is currently based out of Neenah - which I love shout out to my family!!Space is open and wide with great seating options Service was nice and efficient, no dialogue extended conversations, just easy going Vibe is chill too Gourd vibrations pumpkin, easy on the spices Juice mountain, hubby says nice, refreshing fruity, I don't care much for ipa but it was indeed -- nice Apple pie sour is the absolute bees knees Tail violet was completely familiar to a cordial and beer cocktail I had in Berlin in the spring that's made with either woodworm or a black raspTart, tart and light 4.5% Young blood I can spot a pirate is one beer they had from another brewer mentioned
