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.
About our Brewer
Milly's Tavern welcomes new head head brewer, Michael
Labbe. Mike spent almost a decade brewing at Concord
Brewery before helping with the successful launch of
the fledgling Pennichuck Brewing Company. Most recently,
Mike commissioned a new bottling line, and oversaw a
major brewery expansion at Haverhill Brewery & The
TAP in Haverhill, MA. He brings a rich background of
creative brewing and technical expertise to Milly's.
Look for a new Continental Pilsner as we launch of
our seasonal lager series late in Spring '08. We'll
also be adding some traditional English inspired ales
to our seasonal lineup as we restart our cask-conditioned
ale series. We'll have a new cask every week starting
later this spring.
Fisher Cat Ale
This beer is our tribute to lawnmowers, fishing and
baseball. It's made with European Pilsner malt, pale

to this crowd pleaser.
