Opinions from Highly Biased Locals, Fueled by Beer

“Wasn’t sure what to expect walking into a place named after Lake Alice, but I’ll be honest — they’ve got something going here. Beer’s solid, atmosphere is even better, and somehow they’ve turned a local joke into a place you actually want to hang out. Respect.”

“Such a fun addition to Fergus Falls. The whole concept is clever, but what stood out most was the quality — everything felt intentional. Easily one of my favorite spots to meet up with friends now.”

“I’ll admit, I came in for the name and stayed for the beer. Unique branding, relaxed vibe, and a great place to unwind. Would love to see a few more options on tap, but overall a great experience.”

Paul Lundeen
Victor Lundeen's President

“As someone who’s spent a lot of time in this industry, I have a lot of respect for what they’ve built with Lake Alice. It’s not easy to create something that feels this distinct while still delivering on quality. The concept is fun, but the execution is what really stands out. Proud to see something like this come out of Fergus.”

Grab a pint, lower your standards, and join the legend. The lake’s not the only thing with a dark side.

Chaos brewed, legends poured

Bachelor party brains. Bad ideas. Great beer.

How It All Began

Lake Alice Brewing Co. was born from a legendary lake and even more legendary bad ideas. We’re not your average brewery—unless your average brewery is inspired by questionable water and even worse decisions.

Our story starts with a bachelor party, a dare, and a lake that’s seen more lost flip-flops than fish. We brewed up a brand that’s as murky as the water and twice as fun. If you’re looking for polished, keep paddling.

We’re not here to win awards (unless there’s a trophy for ‘Most Questionable Brewery’). We’re here to make beer that’s as memorable as your worst lake story.

We’re here for the laughs, the stories, and the kind of beers that make you question your life choices—in a good way. Welcome to the junkyard of lakes, where every pint comes with a side of inside jokes.

So grab a pint, lower your standards, and toast to the weirdest brewery you’ll never find on a map.

Our brews are inspired by the lake: unpredictable, bold, and sometimes a little sketchy. We believe in flavor, not perfection. If you want safe, try bottled water.

Our Brewing Philosophy

Both Sides of the Pint

We don’t filter our beer—or our opinions. Every batch is a little wild, a little weird, and a lot of fun. If it tastes too clean, we probably messed up.

Some say Lake Alice is haunted. Others say it’s just the beer talking. Either way, we embrace the mystery—and the occasional floating tire.

We see beauty in the bizarre. Our beers are for the curious, the adventurous, and anyone who’s ever wondered what’s really at the bottom of the lake.

Rethinking Craft Beer

Forget the rules. We brew with attitude, not algorithms. Our secret ingredient? A healthy dose of not taking ourselves too seriously.

Lake Alice Brewing Co. is proof that great beer doesn’t need a crystal-clear origin story. It just needs a good laugh and a little bit of chaos.

Last Call

Thanks for wading through our story. If you made it this far, you’re either a true fan or just lost. Either way, cheers to you!

Remember: Brewed for the weekend. Not responsible for what happens after. See you at the lake—or at least at the bottom of your glass.
