Another case of Sprecher soda bottles arrived this week. We have been savoring the first case for the past 2 months, enjoying the best root beer we have ever had, which got us thinking that maybe Sprecher’s other flavors might be worth a try as well. So, an order for an assortment of flavors, including ginger ale, cream, cola, orange, and Ravin’ Red – a concoction of cranberry, cherry, and ginseng was made.

I read about Sprecher of Wisconsin on the Slow Food USA website, specifically their ARK program, which aims to preserve artisanal foods from across the country. The sodas cost about $1.50 each after shipping so they are no more expensive than purchasing from a local convenience store, but the flavor difference of a handmade soda is a thousand times better.
