We end the afternoon with a trip to Sprecher’s brewery for a tour and some tasting. It’s a small brewery that was started in 1985, the first new brewery in Milwaukee since the 1930s. They do 15-20 beers and 8-10 sodas (they now sell more root beer than anything else).
The tour was pretty basic, but interesting enough. It was a bit warm in the building (it was after production ended for the day).
The beers, ciders! And “hard” beverages were all tasty and we had a good time.
Pete, our tour guide, who gets to wear lederhosen to work!
This one room was quite cold - we didn’t want to leave!
The bottling line. Unfortunately it wasn’t running so we couldn’t do a Lavern and Shirley.
