Description
A taste of the moors on tap.

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 the Dragon, Worcester 03-03-07. Poured a deep gold colour with some fruity hoppiness on the nose. Taste was pleasant enough if a little too sweet and this sweetness seemed to mask some of the more subtle tastes that may have been lurking there. Some hoppiness and bitterness but not a patch on the other Millstone beer tried in this establishment.

(Cask at GBBF, London, 3 Aug) Colour is golden yellow with white foamy head. Nose is fruity with notes of citrus (grapefruit, lemon). Taste is fruity, slightly nutty, with citrus, toffee and a fairly dry hop character. Nice bitter finish. Rather complex, easy to drink and refreshing.

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 2006, Ramsgate. Golden with creamy white head. Hops and some cereal on the aroma. Bit of wheat maybe (looking at the description I can see why) Some good citrus on the end and a hoppy finish to this good summer beer.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy with light notes of citrus. The flavor is sweet hoppy again with slight notes of citrus. The hops gives it a good bitter end.
