Editorial Review
Lion's Tail Brewing Co. radiates the warmth of a true neighborhood taproom, where the boundaries of age and background fade into the shared joy of craft beer. The space hums with laughter from families, couples, and groups of friends—kids dart between communal tables while dogs snooze by their humans on the patio. There’s a lived-in comfort here: board games stacked for spontaneous play, regulars swapping stories with friendly bartenders who know their hops. The brewery’s ever-rotating drafts range from crisp shandies to adventurous sours, each poured with pride and a sense of homegrown experimentation. Food arrives not from a kitchen but via local food trucks or your own delivery—an open invitation to make the space your own. Lion’s Tail serves as both anchor and crossroads for Wauwatosa’s community, where locals linger for hours and curious visitors are instantly put at ease. It’s a place where Milwaukee’s brewing heritage is alive, yet each pint feels fresh and personal.
