I am participating again this year in the Slice of Life challenge in which we write a slice every day in March. If you are interested in joining in, visit the Two Writing Teachers blog for more information.
Over the weekend, my sister and her husband and my niece stayed at our house for a visit. Since my brother-in-law is on an epic quest to try many different beers (he actually has a spreadsheet and is working through the list of beers that judges in beer festivals have to try to be able to define certain beer types), we decided to tour the Sprecher brewery. Now, in Milwaukee we have multiple brewery tours available to us so it is sometimes hard to decide. Since my sister and I were planning not to drink this weekend, we chose Sprecher because they have sodas as well as beer at their brewery.
Since we have done multiple brewery tours, the actual tour was pretty boring. What was interesting was hearing about the soda-making process and the way that root beer outsells everything. The end of the tour when they give beer samples was the best part. Normally, I would be sampling right alongside my husband, but I had been under the weather lately so I decided not to have beer. At Sprecher, they give unlimited samples of their sodas in the beer garden. This was AMAZING!!! The sodas are so delicious and there is so much variety in what is available. There are flavors like raspberry, blueberry, grape, orange cream, cherry cola, and of course root beer. I now will be a bit obsessed with Sprecher soda for a while. I really wish it were good for you!
I highly recommend this brewery tour if you ever are in Milwaukee. Even for the beer drinkers, sampling sodas between beer samples would be a great way to extend your time there. I know it hit the spot for me on Saturday!
