We just returned from our vacation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We were visiting family. In honor of our trip, I will tell you about the Sprecher Brewery. Many years ago, on our first trip to Milwaukee, our family took us on a tour of the Sprecher Brewery. We then became life-long fans! They make beer and sodas.

Now, let me start by saying I do not like beer. I have never enjoyed drinking beer and do not plan on "acquiring a taste" for it. Having said that, my husband and brother in law DO like beer and they enjoy drinking beer from the Sprecher Brewery. I, however, am a HUGE fan of their sodas.

Years ago, you could only get Sprecher products in Wisconsin and the surrounding states. That is changing and we having run across their products, on other places. However, not in East Texas. So..... we stocked up on the Root Beer ( my FAVORITE), Cream Soda, Orance Dream, Cherry Cola, and Puma Kola. To the left is a picture of the Sprecher we purchased and carried back to Texas. We brought 6 4-packs of the various sodas. YUMMY!

So, if you ever run across a bottle of Sprecher Root Beer, soda, or beer don't pass up the opportunity to try it!! You won't be disappointed. PROMISE.

lisa, you can get sprecher right here in tyler, Texas. that's right, andy's frozen custard has the root beer and cream soda on tap and root beer, cream soda, orange dream and ginger ale by the bottle or in a four-pack. it is a little pricier than the coke products, but it is there!

Brenda said...

I love special sodas like that, nice you get to stock up!

Melissa Marie said...

I love trying new root beers... it is my favorite. I'm with you on the beer... do not like it, never have and not about to acquire a taste for something I don't like. ;)

Congrats on your upcoming anniversary! Root beer is my all time favorite soda too. I have never heard of this brand though.

Heather @ Not a DIY Life said...

It seems that every region has either a root beer or a ginger ale that is made in that area and can only be found there. Those are always so much better than the big brands. Thanks for sharing, and for hosting!

Melissa said...

Sounds great! We like Cheerwine, a cherry soft drink that's only available in the North Carolina area. Last time we visited there, we brought home a couple of 12-packs. :)

Stacy said...

Congratulations on your mile stone!

I wonder if it is anything like Stewart's root bear (a favorite of my husband's).

I'm not sure I've seen this kind in Indiana.

mub said...

My husband would be in heaven! Beer AND root beer *L* It's so funny because root beer isn't very popular in The Netherlands and he hadn't tried it until he came and visited me in the US. Now it's near the top of his list of favorites!

Lisa said...

Mmmm, all of the varieties sound good to me!

Tara @ Feels like home said...

I love that I am posting on Tuesday evening, and I'm #71. Your carnival has become so successful, and I'm very very happy to see. :)
