Tin Mill beers are proudly crafted by our Brewmaster, Don Gosen, in accordance with the German Purity Law of 1516, the code that still governs beer making in Germany today.
The barley we use is grown and malted in Germany and comes from some of the best barley fields in the world. Our hops come from the renowned Hallertau Region of Germany, an hour north of Munich.
We brew all our beers using the old world German tradition of Krausening, a process used by only a few brewers in the United States today. In this process, we take beer that is almost finished fermenting and add a small amount of newly fermented beer. This “recharges” the fermentation activity and adds natural carbonation.
Our beer is then aged in our cellars at cold temperatures for an additional five weeks. This cold lagering process adds balance and a clean finish for beers that are smooth, flavorful and drinkable.
Our beers can be sampled on tap at the brewery in 5oz and pint glasses or in our traditional quart-sized Isar Tankards imported from Germany. You can also take home bottles from our Tin Mill Brewing Company store or other select locations.
