The Brewing Projekt

Came here on a Saturday night and had a great time with friends. Parking was easy (there's a big lot) and the staff were kind. I love breweries, but I'm gluten free and don't always feel like drinking alcohol, so sometimes my options are very limited. That was not the case here. There were several different options for cocktails-all of which could be made without alcohol. I ordered the cranberry mule and other members of my party enjoyed the NA beer and some of the sours. The space itself is nice and perfect for catching up with friends and playing a card game or two. I can't wait to visit in the summer and sit on the patio overlooking the river.

There are a few breweries that specialize in certain types of beer and this is one of them. They do almost exclusively "smoothie sour" type beers and they do them well. Normally the style can be much more "smoothie" than beer, but The Brewing Projekt gets the mix just right. Everything is well blended, not too sweet, and surprisingly light for what they are. Every beer we tried was great. The taproom is huge, their patio overlooks the River, and they allow dogs everywhere. What more do you want? It's a super chill atmosphere with board games and friendly staff. I would make a road trip here again and park a lunch or something. Just hang out, drink a couple beers and play board games.

A very relaxed ambiance. The sours I had , amazing . It is a good place to hang with friends

Five stars all the wayWorth driving some distance forBest in the Midwest?Best in the Midwest might be a stretch. I would say it is the best in Wisconsin. Top ten in the Midwest for sure. Different people like different beers. I like experimental beers and beers that pack a punch. Brewing Projekt has them both in spades. They put out some of the craziest and tastiest sours that I have ever come across. Sours are definitely what they do best, but they are solid all around. Had their Double Gunpowder last night - fantastic double IPA. Also had a Barleywine to end the evening for a boozy farewell. They rotate a ton; they only have one flagship beer which is the standard dosage Gunpowder.I have been a number of times now as it is a fairly short drive from the Twin Cities. Always been able to belly up at the bar with no problem. If you live within eight hours, I'd say Brewing Projekt is reason enough to drive to Eau Claire for the beer enthusiast. Definitely a destination brewery!

I've enjoyed the Brewing Projekt's beers from home since I discovered them during the COVID lockdown. I was so excited to finally stop at the taproom. Wow! The interior is HUGE. We got there shortly after they opened, so there was plenty of space. Even during their busier times, I doubt it would feel cramped or crowded given all the room. They also have top-notch merch compared to many breweries I've been to. The beer itself was great! One thing I truly appreciate about the Brewing Projekt is their selection of sours. I'm not an IPA/malty/hoppy person, so sours are my go-to. I've never been to a place where I had to order a flight and THEN some to be able to try all the sours I wanted! And not only does TBP have variety, they do sours RIGHT. I loved every beer I tried, and it tastes even better from the tap! I also appreciated that they were taking donations for the local animal shelter for the holidays. I love a place that can give back to the community, especially when it involves animals! I can't wait to go back again. This is probably the best brewery I've ever been to. Until then, I will continue to enjoy them from home. Thankfully they're available at my local liquor stores!

While going to the lake we made a pit stop in Eau Claire for some libations at Brewing Projekt. A super dog friendly brewery with plenty of space to spread out. We got a flight of three plus one extra as we couldn't choose.Stolen Mile:A Golden Ale brewed with fresh lemon zest and fresh basil. The beer tastes like a mix between a light herbal tea with a slight lemon tartness and a lemonade with basil. Very refreshing and unique.Things of That Nature: Their, They're, There:A Double IPA that was double dry hopped with Citra, El Dorado, Mosaic, and Nelson Sauvin. Juicy, hazy, and all thing DIPA. White wine grape flavor with grapefruit / pineapple. Aroma is tropical fruit.Puff Tart XL: RLPAn Imperial Sour with raspberry, lemon, pineapple, and marshmallow. I get a good berry and tropical sweetness with thick body from the fruit / marshmallow mixture. The mallow gives it a 'fluffyness' that makes you feel like you are swimming through a fruity cloud.Dezzert Fight:An Imperial Sour with milk sugar, cream cheese powder, blackberry, pineapple, soursop, graham cracker flavoring, and vanilla brewed in collaboration with Dangerous Man. If that's not enough flavors then I don't know what is. If I close my eyes I would think I'm consuming a cheesecake with blackberry and pineapple. Mastery of flavors shown in this one._________

The Brewing Project is a great spot! It over looks the river, has a large patio space, a large indoor space, and some space for events too! I appreciate how dog friendly the space is as well. My dogs have been able to enjoy the space just as much as we have! They have an excellent variety of beverage options (something for everyone to enjoy)! I personally love the smoothie beers!! I also had my wedding reception in their event space upstairs! Guests all commented on how fun the venue was. It's also nice because it is close to downtown/hotels/etc. They answered all of our questions while we were planning in a timely manner! I would recommend as a hangout space or for events!

One thing I have to give for The Brewing Projekt is that their beer recipes are definitely creative. They have lots of variants to certain name beers and many of them are of the more fruity nature. I have had about three or four of their beers at this point and I felt like a little goes a long ways. Speaking strictly from the fruited beer selection (which is vast here) it often times is very, very sweet and sits heavy on one's stomach. Perhaps these beers would be more manageable for me at least in taster set sizes. Artistic concepts for the beers and their names are fun but for somebody like me who is enjoying lighter beers more and more best scale back on the size and pass on the pint size option.

This quirky brewery specializes in sours, which I've never liked until I tried theirs. Now I LOVE them. They also have more traditional brews for those who don't enjoy sours. They don't have food, but they often host food trucks on weekends. Dog-friendly, with ample indoor seating as well as an outdoor seating area with a view of the river and river walk. We hit The Brewing Projekt every time we visit Eau Claire!

Excellent choices on draft beers. Great outdoor area with a nice view. All seating was picnic tables or Adirondack chairs neither good for my husband wearing a kilt. Could use some thought towards inclusivity on seating as that situation is also true for skirts. Overall we had a great time here and would return, in jeans. It would be great if they had food options.
