Description
Family owned and operated brewpub that serves delicious bbq! Featuring primarily local VT foods, spirits and craft beer.

Our brewery offers five styles of beer: an award-winning pilsner, a wheat brew, pale ale, a stout, and an IPA, all brewed on-site by co-owner and head brewer Dan Fitzgerald. Our smokehouse prepares and serves locally raised meats and produce, and we incorporates our Fitzgerald family maple products into our menu. Having a hometown, family feel is important to us, because we are family-owned and operated.

As the ownership team, Dan, his brother, David, and David’s wife, Joyce, bring their northwestern Vermont roots and spirit to Mill River Brewing. They provide a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere with indoor and outdoor dining, a brewery and tasting area, and retail space — all tucked between the shores of Lake Champlain and historic downtown St. Albans.

So come on in. Leave your stress at the door. And be part of our family.

Can to mug.
Appearance: transparent light yellow color with a one and a half to two fingers of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: wonderfully blended scent of ham, bacon and sweet meat over top of a biscuity lager-like malty backbone
Flavor: tastes like the aromas - sweet, meaty, biscuity, savory; quick aftertaste of ham/bacon and biscuity notes
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable, very smooth on tongue; finishes crisp sweet like a lager then meaty savory
Overall: would very much love to have this again!

Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a one and a half fingers to possibly two fingers of white foamy and semi-bubbly head. Slow dissipation leaves subtle lace
Aroma: oily grassy hops
Flavor: crisp oily hoppy smooth bitter character
Texture: light bodied with a smooth crisp oily-ness
Overall: IMO, it's good for an Italian styled pilsner as it hits what's expected for the style.

16 oz can. Aroma is all jalapeño. Flavor shows a soft honey green back bone with equal parts jalapeño and lime. Texture is pretty crisp. I actually enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would.

16 ounce can. Aroma is slight orange and mildest. Flavor follows with the east, and the citrus. Decent amount of citrus that isn’t too sweet. Simple, straightforward beer

Undated can drunk 1/19/24. Clear golden. Small, white head quickly to ring. Bit of glue in the nose. Not horrendous, not great. Cereal, honey, biscuit, flaked corn-like character. Very light hopping. And yet, despite the bit of glue, it's much cleaner in the mouth with a good maltiness and good attenuation. Honey, cracker, biscuit, some corny character. It's no Red Barn Longview but it's better than the nose portended.

Can on MV - picked up from Craft Beer Cellar Waterbury. Pours clear, pale yellow, lightly effervescent, with a fizzy white head. Medium sweet flavour with notes of cereal, white bread, a little yeast, a little dough, lemony accents. Light bodied and fizzy. Mild sweetness to finish, some dried but doughy biscuits, more white bread and cereal, low bitterness. Drinkable but quite basic gear.
