Saturday DH and I went to local-ish brewing company Sprecher’s! They are in the north part of Milwaukee, so not that close, but close enough for a day trip.
Sprecher’s started out as a craft beer maker that gradually morphed into making mostly sodas – which are pretty delicious. We aren’t much for beer, which is fine because it was the soda we were there for! They have all kinds of interesting sodas – cherry, grape, orange dream, Honeycrisp apple, and watermelon!
That is a watermelon-eating hodag on the label, which is another reason to love it. Also it tastes really good! Root beer is by far their most popular product, which can be gotten at Menard’s everywhere. Anyway, we went there for a tour, then a tasting, and some shopping.
They do make you put on hairnets for the tour, because you are going in their food manufacturing facility. The tour was interesting enough as these things go.
Then tasting! We got bracelets that allowed for 4 beer tastings, which we passed on, but they do unlimited soda tastings.
We didn’t do a lot of sampling – just a few things we haven’t seen in our local stores. Then we shopped! We came home with a little swag and a LOT of soda. We do have family members who like beer, so we got some sample cans for them to try out.
It was a fun little adventure – we got to see some places we hadn’t been before, and had a good time!
Quite A Yarn 
I would have been tempted to taste the different sodas. They sound interesting!

We definitely did! We’ve had some of them, which is why we visited. But we hadn’t had the apple or watermelon or cherry. All really tasty!

I can’t imagine watermelon soda! I’m a big cherry anything fan (except cough syrup!).

The watermelon is really good, as is the cherry. They taste just like the fruits, except carbonated and a little bit sweeter.

What fun! Allistar loves a beer tour and tasting and I usually just follow him around, I’d love this one though as something for the non-drinkers/drivers. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

When we used to visit Milwaukee, we loved eating at the Sprecher’s restaurant located at a local mall. Sadly it closed when the mall changed hands.
