25 in 2025 -- Try at least one new beer, cider, or cocktail -- Drop Top Sundrop

Stacy invited me tag along with them when they went to Nutcracker at the Castle. Before hand we decided to meet for lunch at Mr. Brews Taphouse in Oshkosh. I knew there was one in Appleton but not aware of the one in Oshkosh. 

Mr. Brews features a multitude of beers on tap. Their paper menu is 2 pages. I wasn't sure what to get but I knew what I liked... sours and shandies. They had several of each. Stacy said to get a flight but I was driving. Then I spotted the perfect beer. Drop Top Sundrop. 

I swear they made Drop Top Sundrop just for me. It is a shandy made with Sundrop Soda. It is made by Stubborn Brothers Brewery in Shawano. According to Untappd website it is A Citrus Sour Radler made with two parts beer and one part local soda Sundrop.

It was the first beer that I truly love. It is not your ordinary Shandy. It does not taste like beer at all. Stacy took a sip and said it tasted like soda. I will definitely get this in the future. 

I did at visit Stubborn Bros Brewery in Shawano to the bucket list. I am curious what other beers they have. 

If you are not a beer drinker, this might be the beer for you. It is definitely on the milder side with very little beer taste. Check it out.
