Gift Shop/Tasting Room open Mon-Sat 11am-6pm, Sun 11am-5pm. Tours available daily for $6; check the website for times. You must call ahead for reservations.
For a bit of a different experience, try one of the Reserve tastings offered on weekends for $20. Reserve tastings are done in smaller groups than the regular tour/tastings and feature the company's premier and limited edition products. Each guest will receive ten samples of Sprecher beers, each paired with a different artisan cheese. We have done these in the past and highly recommend them.
They offer five year round beers, five premium reserve, plus seasonal beers, as well as a large variety of sodas. They are well known for their root beer.
BEER:
Summer Pils - Big and malty, terrific hop bitterness in finish, true Czech pils example - 4.25
Black Bavarian - Best schwarzbier brewed in the U.S.; Huge roasty character, big malty body - 5.00
El Rey Acapulco Golden Ale - Lighter, refreshing lime flavor; their version of Corona with lime
FOOD:
Though they don’t serve food at the brewery (other than cheese), they have opened four pubs, located in Glendale, Lake Geneva, Madison and Wisconsin Dells. They don’t actually brew beer at the pubs.
We have been to the Lake Geneva location many times, and it is one of our favorites. It’s in a prime location on the lakefront with a nice outdoor deck. They have a very good menu with German and American options, happy hour Mon-Fri, as well as varying daily food specials.
