Description
Stark Brewing Company originally started back in 1994 as the Stark Mill Brewery. Stark Mill was the first brewery in the city and was brought to life through the efforts of Brewmaster Peter Telge. Peter is a Manchester native, born and raised here in the Queen City, and has been in charge of the brewery for over 20 years now. In 1999, the brewery underwent a rebranding to keep up with the times and opened back up as Milly's Tavern, named after Peter's favorite German Shepherd, who is honored in our logo. Stark Brewing Company is proud to continue its devoted legacy as being Manchester's only brewpub, bringing fresh beer, delicious food, and great times to the people of New England.

16 oz. draft. Aroma is raspberry purée and dirty feet. Flavor is mild berry with light lime. Not very sour. Almost has a medicinal quality to it. Middle of the road at best.

Sample at the source. Light golden color with a hint of pink and a small white head that dissipates pretty quickly. Lightly tart with bits of spicy cereal and bready maltiness and plenty of sweet tart raspberry to bring it all together. Pretty approachable fruited berliner.

Pint at the source. Fairly clear light golden on color with a good sized bubbly white head that persists. Bready spicy malt character with bits of earthy fruit and pine hops to counter. Solid drinking beer right there.

Sample at the source. I'm sure I've had this before but now s the time to rate it. Deep auburn in color with a bubbly off white head that slowly recedes. Rich bready toasty maltiness with hints of fruit and a touch of smoke. Not too shabby.

Sample at the source. Dark brown black in color with a huge tan head that persists. Rich bready caramel and burnt sugary flavors against a hint of chocolate and roast and some earth and fruit to round it out. Well made desert stout but low enough in abv to quaff.
