Millstone Beers

A local of the Saddleworth area. Tom has a background in construction and international downhill mountain bike racing. Still a keen mountain biker and music lover, you are likely to find Tom riding on the hills above Saddleworth or enjoying a gig somewhere. "If I had to choose a beer, I'd likely choose a hoppy uncomplicated session Pale Ale."

Gavin is a Northern lad with a background in construction, now excelling in roles involving delivery driving, stock control, and logistics. Gavin is famously recognised for his deep knowledge of pies, making him the go-to expert on this beloved Northern treat. An avid traveller, Gavin loves exploring new destinations, but he’s equally passionate about tending to his allotment, mountain biking, and taking long walks with his dog, Trevor. Gavin is pretty open minded when it comes to beer but if he had to choose, he would pick a fresh traditional hoppy ale.

Emma comes from a background in the Specialist Vehicle industry where she operated as a Sales & Rental Operations Manager. With a Masters in Business Administration and Chartered Management (CMgr FCMI) designation, Emma looks after the Business Management side of the Brewery. Outside of work, Emma loves exploring the moors and appreciating the local birdlife, particularly the resident curlews, lapwings and owls! When it comes to unwinding, Emma enjoys a traditional British stout.

Rupert is the beloved brewery dray dog, known for his dedication to ensuring that beer gets out of the door, come wind, rain, ice, or snow. Rupert doesn't rest on his paws, he keeps the office in check too, with a special focus on HR and Finance. When he's not busy overseeing things, Rupert enjoys indulging in a rich tea biscuit or taking a well-deserved break with a long walk. He loves rolling around in the rushes, making the most of his time outdoors. With his keen eye for (biscuit) stock control and an undeniable passion for getting beer to customers, Rupert is a vital member of the team.

One of the original founding members of the brewery, Nick grew up in the Black Country, renowned for its industrial heritage. Following roles in teaching and industry he finally swapped an academic career for one in brewing. Now officially retired from Millstone, or moved into "Phase Three" as he prefers to term it, Nick can be found at home baking bread or enjoying the outdoors on two legs, two wheels or two cross country skis.  Full bodied, pale bitters ... it’s the future!

Originally hailing from Birmingham Jon has a background in Engineering and eating curries. He cut his real ale teeth on a combination of Bathams Bitter and Highgate Mild. If he’s not sat at his Kitchen table trying to put one of his antique clocks back together he can be found outside polishing his classic BMW or thinking about curry. He loves citrus style hoppy beers which he says are the perfect combination to go with a curry.
