Commemorating its 30th anniversary, Sprecher Brewing Company will release a number of new beverages starting with Honey Root Beer that is made exclusively with Wisconsin honey from its longtime supplier in Germantown, Wisconsin.
This Honey Root Beer has a different profile than Sprecher's well-known version, also made with Wisconsin honey; it is not a replacement.
According to Sprecher brewmaster Craig Burge, "The new Honey Root Beer has the same great flavors as our original with the addition of a wild flower honey nose and flavor. I think it's awesome. We decided to create this all Wisconsin Honey Root Beer as a special 30th offering, and as a thank you to our loyal customers."
Sprecher gourmet sodas have always been brewed in a gas-fire brew kettle and made with Wisconsin honey. This year Sprecher took it a step further and brewed up the first ever Root Beer made with 100% Wisconsin honey. Sprecher's limited edition Honey Root Beer is a celebration of 30 years of craft brews -- beer and soda -- as well as Wisconsin's flora and bee fauna. Only 3,000 cases were produced.
Sprecher Honey Root Beer is being bottled Monday, April 27th. This special edition Honey Root Beer will be available in 12oz bottles at the Sprecher Gift Shop immediately after packaging, and on store shelves soon after.
