Sprecher Brewing

I used to live 5 miles north of here. Now I'm further away by 2 more miles. No tours for me. I've seen a lifetime supply and I just came here to get extracts to make some of the world famous Root beer and cherry colas . I've always had good interactions with Randy and all the other reps while at the beer tastings and beer garden pop ups. I've been a fan of Black Bavarian for many years and looking forward to making flavored deserts and ice creams and sodas with the extracts. Since I'm still healing from gastritis. I'm cautious about beer drinking. I gave it up half of September and the month of October. Having gastritis is awful. Imagine 3 hours of terrible pain I'm thinking I'm going to die. And never have experienced this before. You think. Is this what death is like? I'm thinking it's the same. Stomach cancer did cross my mind many times while suffering. Then I realize I'm not dead and I'm not in pain in the morning. Did I die? And the pain is all gone? And it could be a perforated gastric ulcer. But no fever. And the pain goes away. Like magic. Lucky for me it's just acid reflux style pain and it's responding to antacids and now I'm on Prilosec pretty much pain free and cautiously eating blandly. I'm making my own drinks with less carbonation. Since dissolved CO2 can increase acidity. Causing me dreadful excruciating belly aches. I'm learning how to eat bland beans rice chicken fish eggs and slowly working back to spicy foods. I can now tolerate sharp cheddar with chipotle pepper. Baby steps I'm on the path to healing. 20/2024Food 4/5 easy bar snacks available in store cheese, chips along with big sized pretzel to share. Ambiance 5/5 clean tasting room not as loud as the brewery because of the glass windows. Plus a monitor for watching the cameras and tvs for the games. Service 5/5 friendly quick service. Location 5/5 easy parking west of the building area nearby streets when packed. Value 5/5 large gift shop and plenty of beer and soda selections along with glassware and clothing.Ps I was told Randy occasionally pops in and the new owners have managed to increase visibility and distribution across the nation. Good job.

I'm not a beer drinker, but a friend from Wisconsin insisted I check out the Sprecher Brewery Tour. So, my husband and I came during our little weekend getaway to Milwaukee. Honestly, I went mostly for the root beer. But let me tell you, this tour was a surprisingly hilarious and entertaining experience.First of all, our tour guide, Jeff - let's just say he was a vision. Chiseled physique, Kevin Costner vibes, and a voice that could melt butter. He was funny, informative, and clearly passionate about his craft beer.The tour itself was engaging, and I learned a lot about the brewing process (even if I mostly zoned out during the beer-specific parts). But the Sprecher Root Beer - oh, the Sprecher Root Beer! It was the star of the show. I even sampled a few of their other unique flavors, and I can confidently say Sprecher is now my go-to for root beer.Highly recommend this tour to anyone, even non-beer drinkers. Just go for Jeff and the root beer. You won't regret it!"I hope this review captures the fun and entertaining spirit of your Sprecher Brewery Tour!

Nice staff and decent space for private events. Stopped here for a work function though we have visited a time or two before. We were in the rathskeller section and they had some cool older bottles/memorabilia from over the years on the walls. Cool barrel tables, too.We had snacks of veggie trays, assorted cheese and meats, and bruschetta. Also, we were able to grab all the soda and beer we wanted from the bar. I tried the amber and the hefeweizen. Both good but not the best I've had. Sprecher has always been a consistent brewery though - most everything you try will be at least good. Love the gift shop, too. Grabbed a few cans of their abbey triple to go. $1.50/can. Can't beat that!

Sprecher has something for everyone. They make their own soda, beer, seltzer plus food onsite. Huge area to enjoy drinks and food with clear signage for ordering food and drink at bar. They have a large gift shop that you enter through. Tour is fun and interactive, hairnets required. Plenty of parking. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area.

Date of visit: August 1, 2024I had an employee visiting from out of state and wanted to do something fun for my team so I booked tickets at the 5 p.m. Sprecher tour. The checkout process for the tour online was very easy and I received both text and email reminders. The check in process was painless and everyone on my team loved the souvenir glass; the coaster to save your table setting was a nice touch as well.Shawn did a great job with the tour though I do think that they would greatly benefit with a little speaker or microphone, especially with the ambient noise from the facility as well as the tasting room. This is a great way to spend an hour or so and having the appetizer options available as well is a great bonus, even if we didn't end up using it.

As I drove in, I caught myself sniffing the air as I thought there was a whiff of sweetness in the air. Maybe it was my imagination...?I was there for the tour, which was $13 for adults and came with a souvenir glass, unlimited soda tastings, and four beer pours. I don't really drink, so there's an option to donate the tickets for a charitable organization (the beers aren't donated themselves, but some percentage from sales is based on the number of tickets).There's three parts to the tour. The first is to go over the history of the brewery, the second is in a part of the factory where they brew the beer and make the soda. The third is their bottling line. Overall, the tour took about an hour, although it was also in part because we were a large group with a lot of questions. After the tour, there's a snack and beverage room with the hard and soft drinks. While I didn't get any food, I had a lot of soda and one beer. The soda was actually surprising as it comes out of the tap less carbonated-it turns out that the bottles and cans are over carbonated as they lose their bubbles during transport and with time so they want to ensure that the drink isn't flat by the time it gets to the customer.There's also a shop where you can buy drinks and other merchandise. Don't skip it!

We visited Sprecher's about 12 years ago when the tasting room was very low key and the only food they had was store bought pretzels and it was fun, but they've really upped their game since then. The tasting room is huge and there are some great food options. The pretzels have gotten huge and looked super tasty. Our kids and the adults loved trying all the sodas and lemonades. The adults enjoyed the various beers and ciders. Lauren was our tour guide for the 45 min tour and did a fantastic job showing us the inner workings of the brewery while educating us and keeping us entertained. Since it was a Sunday we got to see the bottling room as well since there was no production happening that day. At $7 for kids and $12 for adults (with 4 beer samples) Sprecher's is a fun way to spend a few hours. They have lots of games to keep everyone entertained and lots of tvs with different sports games on. Of course they have a large gift shop so you can take some of that Sprecher's magic home with you.

Excellent place to have lunch and liver their beverages especially their root beer and cream sodas

Sprecher's Taproom is always a great time. We love the Irish Stout and the Hefeweizen. It's so nice that they are included in the PubPass book also!

This place is so fun and truly an unbeatable deal if you're looking for something to do with family. We have some family members that don't drink alcohol, others that do and this was a great experience that was inclusive of all preferences. Unlimited fun sodas, energy drinks, seltzers and 4 (pretty generous) "sample" pours per adult with the tours. We had plenty of tickets left over because of some family members not drinking beer. The tour is small but interesting and informative. The food is pretty decent, the pretzel is a must. It's warm, thick, bready and comes with a delicious nacho cheese with a little kick. Bartenders and tour guides were incredibly nice, efficient and fun! Loved this and will bring out of towners or visitors back time and time again. It's also great for anyone who can't walk too far or stand too long- the brewery is pretty small. Great value and experience for the price.
