Did a tour here. Tour runs 45 mins & you get 4 beer pours (about half a beer) tastings & unlimited soda. You also get a souvenir Sprecher glass for your tastings. Prices are $15-$18 depending on the day. Brayson was our tour guide & gave an interesting overview of the history of Sprecher & beer/soda making so you can enjoy your drink better armed with the background knowledge. You can also skip the tour & freebie glass & just get the tastings for $10, a fantastic deal. Drink: I loved the non alcoholic beer. The best NA beer I've had. I would describe it as having a complex flavor profile with something vanilla like. The 2 other beers I tried were ok, good, not great. I'm mostly sugar free on the weekdays, minus the sugar I use in cooking so the sodas were way too sweet for my very personal taste. I liked the maple root beer the best. Food: The pretzel is gigantic, so fun & great for sharing. Extremely delicious. Pillowly goodness with mustard dip & cheese dip, both yummy. Service: Great tour, great bartender & service. Don't forget to have some cash for the tip jar. Ambiance: It's a casual bar setup. Pro tip: You must get the pretzel. I will be back for this & the non alcoholic beer.
I would say if you've ever been on a brewery or distillery tour previously, you can skip this one. They take you to the production side of the building and then back out to the bottling side, and that's it. You get four beers and unlimited soda/water along with your 40ish minute tour. It's kinda fun to introduce the kids to a brewery, but is definitely not a must-do activity.
Sprecher is truly a special experience, worth the drive out of your way to enjoy. Whether or not you're a fan (or even aware of) their root beer, you will be a fan of the company and its story after your tour. An interesting tidbit: the company developed its root beer as a way to entertain the kids of adults who were enjoying the alcoholic beverages. Definitely, definitely, definitely do the tour. Check Groupon for potential deals. The tour includes a couple of free alcohol tastings and all the non-alcoholic beverages you care to enjoy.
Sprecher Brewing provided us with an experience that was a bit more atypical of when we go to breweries. We actually didn't enjoy any of their beer. But instead we explored other beverages that they make. Specifically we had craft soda that the brewery also makes. Some breweries really put out some great craft sodas and the soda we had here was the Maple Root Beer. I do love Root Beer and the addition of Maple made it quite pleasant and added a unique spin to the classic Root Beer. You can taste all of the features quite nicely that are in the flavor type and you get the impression that this soda might have had a little more TLC than the super giant corporations that crank out their product robotically. So a nice experience with their soda. They have other soda flavor options as well but I was quite pleased in trying out this soda from this brewery for the first time!
We had such a nice time here! The staff was so friendly and kind. Tried some of their brews and even the soda floats, yum! The pretzel was perfect after a half marathon! Would definitely come back if ever in the area again.
My friend and I visited the tasting room for a trivia event recently.The guys working the order counter were marginally helpful, at best. They didn't explain much about the beers on offer, pointing us to the lists at the table instead. They didn't offer any details about the event, just telling us "she" would be around.They didn't make an suggestions about the beers. So... meh. The beer I had was fine. The giant pretzel we ordered was actually pretty good. The sound system for the music trivia was pretty crummy actually. It made it hard to hear and frustrating to play. Then at the end, at 8pm, we felt shoved out the door. The most efficient thing all night was the bussing of the tables. So unfortunately I have no real desire to go back for a tour or a second visit.
A fun place to visit in the Milwaukee area. We took family and the tour was great. A must for locals and visitors alike. We also stayed to eat, drink, and play. We enjoyed hanging out in the back room, which is in the corner and hard to see. A great place to get souvenirs, too. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Tip: Get there early because the tours sell out.
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. 20/2024 Food 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.
Highly recommend their root beer! We unfortunately couldn't get spots for the tour, but the beer garden is still a fun place to hang out.
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!
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!
Date of visit: August 1, 2024 I 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.
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.

While in town, I decided to give this place a try since it was walking distance from the hotel. The workers welcomed us and helped us decide the best drink based on what we liked. They were warm and friendly, and didn't make us feel rushed at all. I decided on the mule, which was on tap. It was decent. For food, we got the giant pretzel and garlic Parmesan wings. We definitely underestimated the size of the pretzel and couldn't finish it. It can definitely be shared with groups of 3-6 people. That being said, it was very delicious! The wings were good, but I wasn't overly impressed. Obviously it's a brewery, so they're going to be more known for their beer than their food. Both the pretzel and the wings were a good lunch for my boyfriend and I to share (but a bit much like I mentioned!). There were lots of people of all ages there to do the tour. We didn't get a chance to do that, so I can't speak on it, but I can say it seemed popular! read more
Visited Sprecher Brewery and had a good time hanging out. They've got games available to play which made it easy to kill some time. Root beer on tap was tasty but kind of pricey at $4. Didn't get to do the tour this time, planning on doing that next visit. read more

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. read more

Great tour from the OG Christian. He was VERy knowledgeable and funny as heck on the tour..his 7th grade students are lucky to have him as a teacher Was amazed at how much the place brews and bottles. The tap room was great being able to sample many of the beers and sodas...I'm not big on hoppy beers and they replaced the pour with something else without any questions saying g "we want you to enjoy". I've been to other breweries where they would have charged for the replacement pour. This place is a MUST do if you are in the area! read more

I love going to Sprecher's Brewing Company. I am a huge fan of the craft sodas that Sprecher's known for. My favorite craft sodas are Cream Soda, Root Beer, Cherry Cola, Orange Dream & Puma Cola. Can't wait to go back again in the future. read more

Didn't try any of the food, but did buy some root beer popcorn. Checked in at the front and was given a wrist band and a cup for the tasting. We were able to start trying beer and even take them along with us on the tour. We went by the taps on the tour and we're able to fill up again!! My two fav beers were the special Amber and Acapulco Gold. Ray was guide. He did a great job! It's always interesting to hear about the how a biz started and even the history of the building. My friend wasn't drinking so I got the best of both world. Got to try all their sodas. My favorite was the cream soda. read more

Our nine year old granddaughter is visiting from San Diego and this was on her list of things she wanted to do. We enjoyed the tour, it was very informative. Our guide was great. The staff was amazing, answering questions and filling our soda and beer glasses. I enjoyed the pale ale. Our granddaughter liked the root beer and loved the watermelon soda. She also loved the giant pretzel. The taproom was very spacious, there were games to play while we enjoyed our food and drinks. read more

First time in Wisconsin so had to check out Sprecher Brewing. Did the tour and thought it was not only informative, but high value. Our tour guide Jeff was engaging and super knowledgeable. Not only were the beers solid, but the pops/sodas were, too! I highly recommend not only the tour but trying the Honey Crisp Pop! read more
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. read more

Had a fun time at Sprecher Brewery. The hard ginger beer was delicious. If you are a fan of ginger, you will not be disappointed. Also, I enjoyed a few appetizers. The chips and cheese, warm spinach dip, and BBQ meatballs were tasty and made my stomach so happy! Last but not least, my group went on the tour. Our very handsome tour guide, Jeff, was incredibly fun and informative. Jeff made the group feel like part of the Sprecher family. The casual atmosphere was fun and relaxing. The games on the tables were a fun addition. Unfortunately, my skills in Connect Four were lacking. Purchased rootbeer and rootbeer flavored popcorn as a treat to enjoy at home. All in all, I would highly recommend coming to Sprecher Brewery and bringing the family. Something to enjoy for all ages. Well done, Sprecher!! read more

Remember when there was a Sprecher Restaurant at Bayshore where Bravo used to be? Well, it's still not a restaurant but it's a nice tap room where you can get good beer and the tasty sodas (hard or regular) that Sprecher is known for. Grab your beverage and sit outside and enjoy! read more

I had a crazy amount of fun on the sprecher brewing tour! The tour was a bit small but it had a fun twist of a "learning game". Our tour guide ( I am so mad I forgot his name :( ) was very fun and kept everyone's attention by being quirky with his information. The endless soda and 4 beer samples with a free drinking glass was a great perk too! I personally did not have any beer samples because I wanted more soda than beer. The gift shop was really neat and organized as well. 10/10 on this entire tour! read more

The tour was informative and came with a souvenir glass that could be used for unlimited soda after it ended. The food was also great with plenty of space to sit and enjoy a hot pretzel or other goodies from the gift shop! One of the best root beer I've ever tasted, would definitely recommend to anyone who loves a good root beer. read more

We went on the brewery tour led by the "OG" Christian, who was a great combo of informative and full of cheesy dad jokes. (Despite wearing a Brewers jersey. I'm from Chicago, sooo.... ) I have never been here before and totally respect and support that Sprecher buys local with all their ingredients. (Right down to the bourbon barrels!) I love the "homegrown" feel of this place and hope they never turn too corporate! What a fun part our day! read more
