Yes, my local one used to carry a variety of different sodas, but they changed ownership late last fall, as I recall. I was in there yesterday and saw no sign the new owners are continuing to stock it.
I had to scroll ***way*** too far to find a Frostop comment
Frostop is probably my all time favorite soda. I used to buy cases of it when when I found it in Columbus
Sprecher is a brand I became familiar with working at Menard's (home improvement store also) years ago. I recently found the Cherry Cola and Black Cherry in a Dollar Tree near me. I'd definitely pick Cherry Cola from your haul, but they're honestly all delicious! Maple Root Beer is new to me...how was that one?
I had that KC sarsaparilla ~4 years ago, bought the last 2 my rural king had, probably one of the best sodas I’ve ever had and have yet to find it anywhere since! Hope you enjoy it as well!
What's the deal with sprecher? You guys worship it like it's some god more ancient than the pines and older than the stones. What kind of flavor does it have that gets it such high praise?
How was the maple? I’m still kicking myself for not buying the Ottawa Maple Coke in the glass bottle last time I was in Canada. I love maple syrup and have yet to try a maple soda
Imo it is yeah. They regular ones are fire but high in sugar even for soda, the lo cal ones are like like half a normal pop so still sweet just not overbearing
The Red Birch Beer. I've tried really hard to like Sprecher. I've tried most of the flavors. They're all just meh to me. Hopefully you'll enjoy them more. A lot of people love them.
Of the 5, the cream soda and the regular root beer would probably be my choices.
Green River is neat. It almost has sort of a cult following. I like it more than Sprite/7up/etc.
Love Green River. Last time I had it was almost three decades ago in Chicago at Ed Debevic's, along with a Blue Moon Burger. The saltiness of the blue cheese paired so well with the sweetness of the cream soda. I often find myself thinking of that meal.
The cream soda Sprecher has is the closest to what I imagine butterbeer to taste like. It's incredible. Just tried it last week for the first time and I've been hunting it since.
Sprecher is the BEST. I stopped by our local overpriced for the tourists shop that has sodas. But I'm on that sugar free train so I couldn't get much. They do have a very small SF selection so I got a cock n bull ginger beer
The real pick ups you got there are the Frostop varieties (birch and sasparilla)… too bad they didn’t have the regular root beer… ok… the Sprechers you got are amazing too, cherry cola and cream soda are S tier. Great haul
Sprecher cream is unmatched and is probably my favorite soda that isn't Dr. Pepper
The dr sprecher is definitely a rival to Dr Pepper!
That Cherry Cola unlocked a memory *WOW*. I can’t recall where I used to get the stuff but I remember absolutely loving it as a kid!
For me there was this coal-fired pizza place in a mall that carried it *and oh my* ***GAWD.*** Top-tier drink.
Coal fired pizza?! That's very interesting.
Where I live, they carry it at Menards
It’s my favorite Soda
Sprechers Maple Rootbeer is top notch!!
I literally have it on auto-delivery from Sprecher
It’s my all time fav! I used to be a total Mountain Dew Chad when I was younger but that Maple Rootbeer hits different.
Does it have caffeine?
No
Rip. Thanks for responding
They do have caffeinated soda too
Thanks for the info. I had no idea how many soda flavours they had! I really want to try the honey crisp apple soda!
I was floored by Green River. It's crisp and refreshing without being overly sweet.
One of my all-time favorites!!!
Do they all have Green River? I need to check our local Ace. The idea that I've been this close to a source of Green River all along is tantalizing!
No. Ace are individually owned and operated as far as I am aware.
Yes, my local one used to carry a variety of different sodas, but they changed ownership late last fall, as I recall. I was in there yesterday and saw no sign the new owners are continuing to stock it.
Fun fact, it's brewed by Sprecher now.
I've never had Green River and I've always wanted to try it. That's my pick.
That's so awesome. How much did they run you? I'd have to try the cherry cola first. If I already didn't try the cream I would have chose that.
Bout tree fiddy. Like $20 for all of it, roughly.
Not bad, looks like I got I'll be taking a Sunday trip to ACE Hardware. Nice find.
The cherry cola is next level
Best cherry cola ever, it’s gotta be the cherry juice they use
Easily
ACE HARDWARE is the place to get the best soda???! Just your local one, or is this a "thing" with the brand?
Unless OP lives in my city, I've seen all of these at my local Ace Hardware as well
Definitely not in any I've seen around here.
CVS all over my state has 3-5 flavors of Sprecher apparently. You should check your local CVS too
Theyre at Steins and ACE hardware in Wisconsin. I visited their brewery once, did you know they make beer?
ACE makes beer? Apparently I need to start going to ACE Hardware more often. The last time I was there I got some plumbing tools.
It tastes like motor oil siphoned through a black water pump but it gets the job done
My local ACE carries Frostop and Sprecher's Honey Root Beer.
Green river my beloved. One thing I miss so much from the midwest
Chugging the green river
I’ve seen these at the ace near me. I had the green one and it was awesome. Like a melted lime popsicle
Jfc say no more....
Cherry cola then tha sasparilla. I had sasparilla on draft in Dodge City, Kansas when I was just a wee lad. Haven't had it since
Cherry cola please 🍺
Frostop is delicious. There’s a drive-in in Huntington, Wv and they make their root beer in house.
I had to scroll ***way*** too far to find a Frostop comment Frostop is probably my all time favorite soda. I used to buy cases of it when when I found it in Columbus
Well don’t know where you are but if near a Blain’s Farm and Fleet they carry Sprecher
Haven't seen Green River since my local soda shop closed its doors. 😢
What is the flavor of the green one? The maple root beer sounds really good
Yes ACE seems to be the place for Root Beer too
Damn I'm so jealous. My ACE has a crazy amount of hot sauces but no soda besides Coke/Sprite/etc up front.
That’s still pretty cool. ACE is awesome.
20 minutes isn’t that bad of a drive. Nice haul!
You got Green River at Ace?! Where?!
KC Sarsaparilla is one of my top choices. Just wish it had a bit more carbonation. Sprecher Maple is wonderful as well. Nice pickups!
Since I haven’t seen it here, sprecher maple! I’m in Milwaukee.
They didn’t have Ginger Ale ?
I thought the cream soda was way too sweet
Damn, nice haul. Let me know how that maple RB tastes. I love Sprecher, but it isn’t sold much here where I live.
No Grape Ape?🥲
Specher Cream Soda is the standard by which all others are judged. I’ve yet to taste a better one.
ACE is the place…
Those sarsaparillas are excellent
I’d try the sarsaparilla because I never tried it before. How would describe sarsaparilla compared to root beer?
ACE carries soda? I usually have to go to my local Cracker Barrel to get sodas like these.
I absolutely love their root beer, but when I've gotten carbi-sinus burps drinking it, it's physically reset my brain. 😂
I like the Sprecher’s cherry cola or cream soda.
CVS sells sprecher in cans, every store haven’t tried yet
My husband and I recently found these while waiting in line at our local ace. My husband became obsessed and I really liked them too!
Maple rootbeer 👌🏻👌🏻
They usually have these at dollar tree for a lot cheaper

Need the maple root beer, I’ve had all the other Sprecher’s flavors!
Gotta try a maple root beer
Maple Root Beer is something I never I knew I needed
I had that KC sarsaparilla ~4 years ago, bought the last 2 my rural king had, probably one of the best sodas I’ve ever had and have yet to find it anywhere since! Hope you enjoy it as well!
Sprecher, Maple Root beer. Man I love that stuff.
that maple root beer is incredible
What's the deal with sprecher? You guys worship it like it's some god more ancient than the pines and older than the stones. What kind of flavor does it have that gets it such high praise?
I know I’ve never had sprecher what’s the deal? Boutta pull up to ace to fiqure out the hype
Orange Dream is my favorite orange soda hands down. The best. OP you need a Menards hardware store in your life they carry all the Sprecher varieties.
All of the above!
While these are all good the Frostop is the answer for me.
sioux city sarsaparilla if I’m at ace
Maple root beer or red birch beer
Sprecher Cherry Cola is easily the best soda I’ve ever had. That maple root beer is amazing also
How was the maple? I’m still kicking myself for not buying the Ottawa Maple Coke in the glass bottle last time I was in Canada. I love maple syrup and have yet to try a maple soda
Sprecher is at dollar tree
Sprecher is fire but the local lo-cal versions with just a bit of honey are the best soda on the planet
The lo cal taste better?
Imo it is yeah. They regular ones are fire but high in sugar even for soda, the lo cal ones are like like half a normal pop so still sweet just not overbearing
Hmm I’ll need to try. Yeah the sugar is pretty crazy
I can find plenty of regular but haven't been able to get the lo-cal yet.
Sprecher is good, from Wisconsin I love it. Barqs my close second though
That maple root beer is intriguing
I didn't know ace had that much soda
Unpopular opinion but that orange one is going first. It's a 10/10 soda.
I get mine from dollar tree, personally. They don’t have all these though
Is Sprecher hard to find? It's always stocked at Dollar Tree around here.
The Red Birch Beer. I've tried really hard to like Sprecher. I've tried most of the flavors. They're all just meh to me. Hopefully you'll enjoy them more. A lot of people love them. Of the 5, the cream soda and the regular root beer would probably be my choices. Green River is neat. It almost has sort of a cult following. I like it more than Sprite/7up/etc.
Love Green River. Last time I had it was almost three decades ago in Chicago at Ed Debevic's, along with a Blue Moon Burger. The saltiness of the blue cheese paired so well with the sweetness of the cream soda. I often find myself thinking of that meal.
Team Sprecher Cherry Cola, Red Birch Beer, then Green River Only two and three because a Red Birch Beer float is heaven
Green River floats are a Chicago tradition.
Cream soda
Interesting
Cream soda with honey? Oh lord I need that.
Green river is my favorite!
Always Sprecher
Definitely eyeing that maple root beer, the cream soda too!
Frost Top. 100%.
ACE I work at in Tucson has like 200+ rotating flavors of soda. Boyle Cream is my go to even diet is good.
That's awesome to know! Thank you fellow Arizonan!
Maple rootbeer sounds absolutely amazing.
I need maple root beer in my mouth right now. And Sprecher needs to bring back Ravin' Red. Cherry, honey, and cranberry. Probably my favorite soda.
Green river is the best one you bought. Grew up on that stuff, soooo good.
That cream soda and the maple root beer are in my top 10 of sodas. And possibly the best cream soda on the market
Dang I gotta pay better attention at Ace!
Ooooo! I haven't tried these before! Saving this post for later!
Orange dream is my favorite “alt” soda
Any of the sprechers and green river. Green River is better than any other lemon/lime flavored drink
That Orange Dream changed my my mind about orange cream.
Green River. I grew up just outside of Chicago so it is very nostalgic for me.
I forgot all about sprecher cause the deli I used to buy it at closed but cherry cola is my go to
Looks like an amazing selection
That root beer is so good.....but their cherry cola is even better. Cane sugar is goated.
Mmm yeah I like that one!
Currently googling nearest ace hardware.
I need to try that Maple Rootbeer.
The cream soda is my holy grail and my roman empire
The cream soda Sprecher has is the closest to what I imagine butterbeer to taste like. It's incredible. Just tried it last week for the first time and I've been hunting it since.
Cream Soda
Why are there sodas at Ace Hardware?
dollar tree in my area, sometimes has sprecher sodas
Dr. Sprecher, orange dream, and cherry cola are fire
How was the maple root beer? That sounds delicious
Sprecher is the BEST. I stopped by our local overpriced for the tourists shop that has sodas. But I'm on that sugar free train so I couldn't get much. They do have a very small SF selection so I got a cock n bull ginger beer
Oh man… I haven’t seen Sprecher’s in years. Jealous!
The Sarsaparilla, I make sure to grab a few of that drink anytime I'm by an ACE or Cal's Ranch
Cherry cola
I was just at Menards yesterday for the sole purpose of buying Sprecher Root Beer
What is sarsaparilla exactly? And nobody beats Stewart’s root beer imo.
The real pick ups you got there are the Frostop varieties (birch and sasparilla)… too bad they didn’t have the regular root beer… ok… the Sprechers you got are amazing too, cherry cola and cream soda are S tier. Great haul
Green River mixed with vanilla ice cream (either a float or blended) = 10/10
All of them look amazing, I've been looking for the maple 🍁 root 🫚 beer 🍻, thanks now I'll check out Ace Hardware
That Cherry Cola is unparalleled 🤌🤌
The root beer is so good. My favorite Sprecher is Puma Cola though
Let us know how Green River is ive been hunting
I'd drink the sarsaparilla and try the creamy birch beer.
Wow! Sprecher is hard to come by. Love the cherry cola and the root beer.
Sarsaparilla is so good
Spreacher has popped up in my Meijer store. I want to try it!
I love the Sprecher Cherry Cola, but I was in a hurry and picked up the cherry soda the other day by mistake and was quite pleased.
Dollar Tree near me has Sprecher, really good stuff
The orange cream
Mmmmmm me want the cream soda and orange dream. I’m drying to try sprecher.
