Root Beer

Perhaps it's not a huge stretch to assume that root beer would likewise be quite popular in a city with a history of producing excellent beer. This delicious soda is a terrific alternative for your kids and anyone who avoids alcohol and is frequently served directly next to the beers on tap. Milwaukee is home to many well-known brewers, such as Lakefront Brewery and Titletown Brewing, that sell root beer.

However, Sprecher Brewery produces Milwaukee's preferred root beer. Randy Sprecher, the company's creator, fell in love with German brewing while stationed in Augsburg for military duty. Sprecher tried microbrewing in California after bringing his passion for German beer back to the United States before opting to travel east to Milwaukee. He began his career with Pabst before quitting in 1985 to start his own brewery. Sprecher sells a wide variety of beers and beverages, including cream soda and even blueberry soda, but its root beer is currently its most well-known product.
