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.

The Maple Root Beer from Sprecher Brewing!
Alden C.

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!

Pretzel
Kristen C.

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.

Every flavor in the book and a pretzel
Daniela B.

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.

Root beer
Alex W.

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.

Lauren, tour guide extraordinaire!

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.

They have a carriage house on site that you can rent on airbnb which would certainly make for a charming stay with such a gorgeous environment laying mere feet away. They host an array of events, from weddings to wine tastings to classes (a gorgeous spot for a wedding with a smaller guest list--this isn't your 400 person wedding sorta spot). For anyone into horticulture or simply looking for ideas to improve your own garden space, you can't help but leave here inspired. An absolute gem in Milwaukee!

The house itself is very architecturally interesting with high molded ceilings and all original fireplaces. It's decorated to look as close to the original as possible. We came as part of #Doorsopenmilwaukee. My daughter was volunteering here later this day. The gardens have an instant peace feeling about them. It's a touch of tranquil in the busy surrounding Downtown. I loved looking at all of the different fauna and flowers. I only wish they had the signs saying what type of plant it was. There are a series of paths, a few fountains, and some nice areas where you can relax. They rent out the gardens for parties and weddings. There was a separate carriage house that has bathrooms and facilities to get dressed for events. I am sorry I didn't know about this place sooner. It's really beautiful!

At times a bit of a challenge to partake in a single standing leg yoga pose while puppies are nipping at the seam of my socks. At one point, 3 puppies decided to tag team me as I laid flat on my yoga mat. As I attempted to create a calming pose and center myself...the puppies decided they had other plans for me. My hair bun became undone by a puppy tug as I simultaneously almost lost a pearl earring to another puppy. As I laid flat, I gently pulled one of the puppies onto my chest for cuddles and I received a kiss. They had great fun with playing tug of war with my yoga towel. There was a photographer capturing candid shots of us with the puppies. We were offered assistance with taking pictures on our phones. A few of us were handed puppies by one of the puppy assistants. The staff was great with sanitizing any spills from the puppies. Toward the end of the session, I noticed the puppies tired themselves out and were being cradled by a few attendees. Genius idea of puppy yoga!
