Caption: The Sprecher Brewing Company of Glendale, WI, has announced the arrival of a new variety eight-pack. The package contains eight 16-ounce bottles of Sprecher beer, representing four of the company's II beer styles. The eight-pack includes samples of Sprecher special Amber, Black Bavarian, Hefe-Weiss and Pub Ale. The eight-pack is a new idea for the brewery, although it has made custom 12-packs for its soda line. "The variety pack will make a terrific holiday gift," said Don Wambach, brewery sales manager, "However, because the graphics are not holiday-themed, the eight-packs also could be given as Father's Day gifts or brought to Superbowl parties. This makes it very appealing to retailers, since it is not just a holiday item. "The eight-packs will be sold in WI, II, MI and MN.
