Spring Grove Soda at the MN State Fair

My 3-year-old and I spent yesterday morning at the Minnesota State Fair.  We had some fun:

Deep Fried Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.  SOOOO good!

With my big guy at the MN State Fair.

One stop I KNEW we had to make was at the Spring Grove Soda stand. They're a local soda from southern Minnesota that sort of got me hooked on small soda companies a few years ago.

Their little stand near the DNR Building.

I just HAD to get a Spring Grove Root Beer.

At $4 a glass, it's not the best deal at the fair, but still worth it!
(The best deal and something I always get is $0.25 flavored "honey straws" in the Horticulture Building.)

They let me step in and get a photo of their big stash.  You can see my reflection smiling in the upper left.

My son "helped" me finish my root beer.  Thanks buddy.

Their root beer isn't my favorite of all time, but it's really good and has a unique flavor. It almost has a fruitiness to it with a bit of earthiness too. (Their Cream Soda is one of their great ones too - I could have used a cup of that at the fair as well.)

Nice chatting with you, Spring Grove folks!

p.s. My 100th post was last year, and it was about having a Root Beer at the State Fair.  Now, this is my 199th post.  We'll see if I get back to the State Fair for more sweet treats next year around my 300th post!
