THE BEERS
Millstone crafts well-rounded full bodied beers using traditional malt and fresh whole hops. Our beers are typically pale in colour, heavily late hopped for a full hop aroma and have a delicately balanced bitterness to suit most palates.
Since launching the brewery with just two beers the range has extended to include five pale beers and a stout. We also brew occasional specials so keep your eyes peeled.
TRUE GRIT
​
A very pale and hoppy strong ale. Well hopped using Chinook hops; a mellow bitter makes way for a distinctive citrus/grapefruit aroma. The ‘big brother’ to Tiger Rut.
