Soda Pop Review : Intro To Sprecher Gourmet Sodas


I recently found this brand of sodas at my nearest and dearest Italian Deli/Ravioli establishment,  La Villa, in Willow Glen, CA.  The brand of soda is Sprecher Gourmet Sodas and they run about 1.79 for 16oz of goodness.  They come in a variety of flavors and all hail from the great state of Wisconsin!  They're a full fledged brewery and brew beer there as well, you can take a tour, find then at various festivals and when I'm back in the Midwest I certainly plan on visiting their location.

SPRECHER BREWING COMPANY

Now with that all aside I went to my local bottle/liquor company, Bevmo, and picked up a few of their gourmet sodas.  I've already had their, "I can't say any more good things about their delicious Cream Soda" which is now my default cream soda to drink, so I didn't pick up any (yet) plus the one Bevmo I did go to didn't have the Cream Soda or the Grape.  So before anything lets list what sodas they do offer, some of which are seasonal.

Their Regular Cast of Sodas:
  • Root Beer 
  • Cream Soda
  • Cherry Cola
  • Grape
  • Orange Dream
  • Ginger Ale
  • Cherry-Cran
  • Lo-Cal Root Beer
  • Puma Kola
Their Seasonal Cast of Sodas:
  • Rasberry
  • Strawberry
  • Red Apple
  • Blueberry
 Their Limited Release Sodas: (Currently only 1 Type as of  2015)
  • Honey Root Beer (only 3000 cases were produced!)
They Also have Private Label Sodas, which is an option to get your own label on one of their goumet sodas (and beer as well) but as far as I can tell its just a relabeling, but its a very cool idea to have your own "branded" soda/beer.

The main thing that sets Sprecher apart from others is their process of using local ingredients, extracts, fruit, and honey, and crafting it all in a hand-made, gas-fired brew kettle.  You can certainly taste the care in which they produce their product.  These sodas are soooo delicious.

So over the next couple of blog posts, and maybe a video or two, I'll be posting my thoughts on each of these sodas that I can get my hands on.  currently I have Root Beer, Orange Dream, Ginger Ale, Puma Kola, and one Seasonal Red Apple.  PS: They also sell BBQ Sauces, and Flavored Mustards!

Hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for stopping by!

2am Chili - How To Make Chili "Like A Boss"

Over on the reddit  user tylercap  posted his recipe for Chili, "Like A Boss" that he likes to make at 2am between sessions of Black Ops.  However unlike the traditional listing of ingredients in a 3x5 index card format or video of the process tylercap decided to post pics along with some stick figures showing the process.  Also if you're unfamiliar with the meme "Like a Boss" check out the bottom of the post for the youtube clip from Andy Samberg of SNL and thelonlyisland . nsfw language and imagery for both chili and "like a boss" video after the jump.

POPUP SHOP - Modo Mochi Donut @ Mitsuwa Marketplace in San Jose

$20 for a dozen!!! (other food, and tax/tip not included) People have lost their damn minds once again in the "craze" of these Hawaiian Mochi Donuts!  We arrived after lunch at the Mitsuwa Marketplace in San Jose off Saratoga Ave.  The line was out the door! My friends got in line, I went in to scope out how long it would be.   I passed the automatic doors and saw the line twisted to and fro, back and forth, amongst various food stands and displays.  I inquired the length of time people were waiting, 2-3 hrs was the wait time.   OMG! No frick'n way!!!   No pastry was worth that wait!Luckily, my friend came in to see the line size and saw their sister in law and was able to snag a few to share with us! Thanks CHAN!  The max you could get for one person was a dozen for $20.    Now don't get me wrong, the donuts were very tasty and had that slight chewiness of fresh pastries combined with mochi, but they weren't mind blowing crazy go
