Mills Brewing

Gen & @JonnyPMills brewing and blending naturally fermented beers with minimum modern intervention. Spontaneous fermentation and locally collected cultures.

The finished beer is unlike anything we have tasted before. Notes of lime, cut grass, & ginger. Followed by unbaked sourdough and, from a brewer's perspective, the smell of a bag of Maris Otter. The beer is poised, light, and effervescent on the palate.

Cheers,
Gen & Jonny

FRESH HOP

This is our 2nd blend of Fresh Hop. Our aim this time was to combine the raw green flavours of the freshly picked hops, with the wonderful aromatics of fresh malt in our barrels of raw, unboiled, spontaneously fermented beer.

[Mills Brewing @MillsBrewing]

Bottling was the next day to ensure we extracted only delicate aromatics. Long steep times extract more, but not necessarily better flavour. The beer conditioned in bottle for 5 months. As with all our dry-hop beers, these aromatics will evolve dramatically over time.

@neilcmc @BrouwerijBoon Wonderful!

We're really looking forward to seeing how this one develops with longer bottle ageing, too.

Cheers,

Pop

On-Sale now at https://t.co/7eRA2Z1iFQ

Beer Details:
Pop is a blend of extra pale beers brewed in March 2023, plus a portion of 2024's Chuckleberry beer release.

[Mills Brewing @MillsBrewing]

The resulting beer has the character of both a spontaneously fermented fruit beer and a new world IPA. It presents as intensely fruit forward with juicy acidity while remaining light and dry on the finish. Right now, it is also vividly hop-forward.

[Mills Brewing @MillsBrewing]

Dry-hopped with whole-leaf hops and keg conditioned for several months to achieve fine natural carbonation.

[Mills Brewing @MillsBrewing]

Beer Details:
Brewed in winter using floor malted Czech pilsner, oat malt, and masses of European hops. Working with the cold weather to aid an ambient-temperature lager yeast driven primary fermentation in our open coolship. Lagered in oak with wild yeast and bacteria.

Pils Draught

Heading out of the brewery today. Our house Pils on draught for the first time.

Trade mailer sent this morning.

[Mills Brewing @MillsBrewing]

The finished drink has wonderful poise, balancing the acid and tannin of the apple with the sweetness of the grain, cut through with farmyard funk and the Barbe Rouge wafting over the smells of summer.

Cheers,
Gen & Jonny

Our final release of 2024.

[Mills Brewing @MillsBrewing]

This iteration was made using the turbid mash method in the style of traditional Lambic producers. The wort was fermented with Foxwhelp juice in old oak barrels for 10 months.

The resulting blend was dry-hopped with French-grown, Barbe Rouge hops before bottle conditioning.
