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.

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.
