About
Lazy Monk Brewing was built out of a desire to serve our community with quality biers made in the old world tradition of the Czech Republic and Germany.

We are a European craft brewery that focuses on traditional Bohemian and German Bier styles but we don't shy away from Ales or IPA's.

We have 14 taps of Bohemian and German Biers in our European Bier Hall. We also have an amazing German Bier Garden overlooking the beautiful Chippewa River in downtown Eau Claire.

Find out what happens when community and friends meet over our amazing biers brewed in the old world tradition.

16oz can. Pours a filtered tanned yellow. Thin, soda-like head. Classic brewhouse aroma, lager yeast, mild noble hop. Probably the best made in the state. Smooth, clean, refreshing. Sublime, easy going, classic. Not so hopoy for the style, leans into the clean golden malts.

16oz can. I have been hyping up Lazy Monk’s lagers to the unknowing/uncaring for years and I’m pretty hyped to see their beer in cans. Unfiltered deep brown, some reddish amber hues. Not much of a head, thin beige patchiness. Smooth and clean malts. Some light coffee notes amongst the brown sugar. Relatively mellow for the style, not sticky, overbearing, or heavy at all. Wow. I love the way this guy brews. Excellent, clean, doughy example of the style.

16 oz. can thanks to Skyview. Dark brown color with ruby highlights around the edges, no head. Aroma is toasted grain and burnt nuts.

Flavor is much like the aroma. Toasted grain upfront with chocolate following, nuts and lager yeast in the finish. The Vienna malts are deep and rich, spot on for the style. Very mild bittering hop hiding just underneath the malts. Nice. Really flavorful dark lager, easy to drink. Thanks Bob.

Tap at Lazy Monk. Filtered deep burgundy-amber-brown. Big, steady off-white head. Chewy chocolate amber malt. A real enjoyable amber, rich luscious malt tones. Expert lagering. Toffee. Medium to full bodied. Big mouthfeel for the ABV.
