Booked an whiskey tasting tour and I must say it was def an experience. One of the oldest breweries in milwaukee area. Our tour guide brendon was very informative, answered all our questions and gave us a lot of info on whiskey brewing Got to try diff whiskey, vodka, gin, rum, bourbon Def worth the money!

Stopped in to grab a bottle because we were in the area. Did not do the tour but will be back to do that. Staff were friendly & service was good. They have a full bar & kitchen. Wide variety of spirits available for sale! Great place to check out. They also have a nice patio off of the tasting room.

While Great Lakes Distillery is small, the tour was nice. Our guy gave us lots of information and the tasting was enjoyable. My wife, who is not really into distillery tours, enjoyed herself as well!

Absolutely awesome staff and vibe in this place. I did the tasting menu it was $1 a taste so very good deal. Definitely love the barreled gin here. Also a life saver was the staff, helping us out with a little bit of our “personal problems”. Awesome everything will definitely recommend.

Our host was funny and gave us a lot of fun facts about alcohol. The drinks weren't my favorite part but I did buy a bottle of the best absinth I've ever had. I'd visit again for the experience
