Opening in January 2002 in Manchester’s historic
mill yard, Milly’s Tavern is the city’s
only brewery. We handcraft our beer on premise using
our 15-barrel DME brewing system and use an all-natural
brewing process with no pasteurization or chemical preservatives.
We use the choicest ingredients in our beers, imported
malted barley, hops from the Pacific Northwest and Europe,
pure Lake Massabesic water and yeast from around the
world. We are proud to offer 12 beers on tap at all
times (8 year-around varieties plus 4 seasonal/specialties).You
can bring your favorite Milly's beer home or to a party
by purchasing one of our 64 oz Glass Growlers to go.
If you are interested in checking out our brewing process,
contact us and we would be happy to schedule a time
for you to participate.
Our Brewing Process and Beer
Our barley (which can range between 650 and 1300 pounds
depending on the beer) is stirred by hand in our mash
tun without the use of electric paddles and motors,
keeping this a very “handcrafted” process.
It’s also removed by hand with hoes and shovels
making this a labor of love.
Our brewing system is heated by fire just like in the
old world, which adds character to our beers through
the caramelizing of sugar in the brew kettle. We age
and condition our beers after fermentation to ensure
good clarity and to round out the flavors in our beers.
We do not pasteurize our beers like many large breweries.
Pasteurization kills all living organisms, including
yeast, which is rich in vitamins, and it also diminishes
the subtle flavors and aromas we’re very proud
of.
We are proud to offer our beers off-premise to your
establishment and if you ever have any questions about
our product or just about beer in general feel contact
us.

This beer is our tribute to lawnmowers, fishing and

straw in color, and is our lightest bodied beer. We hop it mildly with German Hallertau, a traditional

to this crowd pleaser.

**NEW** Blueberry Ale
Nothing says summer in New England like Blueberry Ale! For us, it's all about subtle flavors, and big aromas. We've developed a true American Golden Ale recipe, and infused it with blueberries. Cold cellaring allows the flavors to meld in a delicate balance, and the aroma of fresh blueberries will blow you away. We top it off with a sprinkling of fresh blueberries in the glass. Mmmm.... is anybody else thinking about pie right now?
O.G.: 1.044 F.G.: 1.007 ABV%: 4.8 I.B.U.: 21
Rhine River Pilsner
Beat the heat of summer with a crisp, clean Pilsner. This is the first true lager we've produced at Milly's in many years. A long, cool fermentation produces a beer that is exceptionally dry and thirst
quenching. Our recipe is based on pilsners produced by the breweries along the Rhine River in northern Germany. The aroma is dominated by noble Hallertau hops and light, bready yeast.
O.G.: 1.043 F.G.: 1.007 ABV%: 4.7 I.B.U.: 30
Spring Fever Extra Pale Ale
Our Extra Pale Ale has a refreshing, citrus finish reminiscent of lemon-grass. Light and drinkable, this is a great session beer for a lazy spring day. “It’s spring fever … You don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!" — Mark Twain
O.G.: 1.037 F.G.: 1.006 ABV%: 4
Hell's Bells
Hell's Bell's is a Belgian-inspired Strong Dark Ale. You won't have to sell your soul for a taste of this devilish concoction of the finest imported malts and hops, Belgian Candi Sugars and spices. Fruity phenolics and a hint of vanilla enhance the flavor of this 9% ABV ale. Do Hell's Bells toll for you?
O.G.: 1.083 F.G.: 1.018 ABV%: 9
Pumpkin Ale
This is one of our most popular beers. Brewed with fresh New Hampshire grown pumpkins and lightly spiced. Try it on its own, or with your glass rimmed with our house blend of sugar and spices. Get this one fast, before it's all gone!
O.G.: 1.044 F.G.: 1.006 ABV%: 5
Tennessee TNT
A barley-wine aged for 3 months in Jack Daniels Whiskey barrels. Brewed with over twice the malt and hops to yield half the volume makes this beer a superb cold weather ale. Dark fruit and hints of oak and vanilla blend perfectly with TNT's dry-hopped floral aroma. Aged in our cellar for one year, for enhanced smoothness.
O.G.: 1.099 F.G.: 1.012 ABV%: 11
Heffeweizen
This Bavarian-style unfiltered wheat ale is a warm weather staple at Milly’s. It’s quite refreshing when you need to beat the heat. True to it’s roots, we ferment our Heffeweizen using an authentic yeast from Weihenstephan in the Freisting district of Upper Bavaria, which generates banana, clove and bubblegum flavors and aromas.
O.G.: 1.048 F.G.: 1.008 ABV%: 5.25

May 30
Cask-conditioned Ale: Manch-Vegas IPA dry hopped w/ Cascade Cask-conditioned, or Real Ale, is fresh, unfiltered and naturally carbonated in the cask. We maintain a traditional "cellar" serving temperature of 53 degrees and dispense using our vintage handpump or "Beer Engine". Each cask is further differentiated from it's draft counterpart by the addition of aromatic hops into the cask. Watch the cascade build into a soft, creamy head adding a velvety smooth mouthfeel.
