Millstone
Microbrewery in Ashton-Under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, England 🏴
Established in 2003
Established in 2003 by Nick Boughton and Jon Hunt, the brewery is located in an 18th-century textile mill and uses an eight-barrel plant. More than 30 regular outlets are supplied. The Millstone Brewery restores a traditional craft to the town of Mossley, situated where the counties of Cheshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire meet.
Today Millstone is still producing popular beers that are being enjoyed not only locally but nationwide through our trusted distributors. Having brewed numerous beers over the years, we've narrowed our beers down to a strong core range of three regulars, including a stout, and three occasional. This doesn't mean that we're not working on or developing new beers so keep your eyes peeled.

Cask at Fighting Cock, Bradford - Clear pale yellow, pretty white head. Grassy, weak citrus, very thin and watery. Not overly impressed, but not a disaster.

I recommend Stainsby Mill in Derbyshire if you want to see an unusual millstone. Exotic fruit beer here, perhaps more cask-hoppy in texture and taste, but the afforementioned has its influence.

Cask at Borough Arms, Crewe. Pours a cloudy pale gold with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly citrus with some hints of mango. In the mouth it starts off sweet with a creamy texture but there is laso some bitterness which gradually comes to dominate. Flavour is floral hops, mango and kiwi plus some hints of grapefruit. Finish is quite dry and bitter. This is reasonable though not really my cup of tea.

Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Light gold and clear with a small white head on top. Bready aroma, a touch of marmalade. Mostly sweet taste at first, a bit grainy, followed by intense hoppy bitterness. Grapefruit oil notes on the finish, some lemon iced tea. Light body, good carbonation for cask. Decent if a bit dull.

Cask @ Albion Tap, Uppermill. Golden with a small creamy head. Hoppy easy brew with a little more depth to it than its strength might suggest, but not particularly flavoursome.
