Millstream Brewing Co

I love this place. Its small, friendly, and thats the way I like it. I’ve probably met the whole staff, and they all have been great. I’m moving back to Portland, Oregon here shortly. Can I take some Millstream with me?

Great environment especially if the weather cooperates and allows for use of the patio. The beers are good but pretty average in the world of craft beers — which I could see being both a good and bad thing depending on what you are looking for. As one of Iowa’s oldest breweries, they found a formula that works and is fitting for the German heritage of the Amanas.

Love this place! The Windmill Wheat is my favorite!!! Great atmosphere, especially outside. I love sitting outside with an ice cold beer. The live music on Saturdays is fun!

Same as I have said before… Great friendly staff and a cozy place to sit and enjoy the day. They also have meat sticks and cheese curds if you’re hungry.

Holy amazing beer batman! Get a flight of 6 samples for $ 10 and try a selection of excellent tap beers. They are all excellent so it will be hard to know where to start. The wit is superb, the amber is a #1 world champ – and it was easy to see why, the Octoberfest was great as well… but my favorite was the Back Road Stout. The BRS was dark and strong without being overly sweet or heavy – best I have had… and it ought to be since it took a gold at the craft brew championship as well as the Los Angeles beer competition this year.

Only had time for a brief stop and a a single beer, but it was an absolutely to-​die-​for Pumpkin Stout. My companion had their home brewed Root Beer, and it was excellent as well. I’m a microbrew aficionado (and yes, a beer «snob»). This is hands-​down the best stout I have ever had in my life. I realize it’s seasonal, but if this one was this good, I’m sure their stouts are excellent year round.
Friendly staff, good service. It was cold and rainy, so I didn’t try the patio, but it looked very inviting.
It was also Oktoberfest weekend, so they must have been crazy busy with preparations, but not too busy to give quality service.

This brewery is so CUTE! I wish we could have enjoyed our beverages outside on their adorable patio… but we sat inside due to chilly temps.
We didn’t have a lot of time, but we sipped on a pint and relaxed in their tasting room, which overlooked their brewing equipment.
Try some Octoberfest before the season ends. Support your local brewery!

Excellent beer, great selection, cheese curds, friendly and helpful staff, cool outdoor patio… what more can a person ask for in a brewery? It was perfect.

Awesome! 5 or 6 beers to choose from. Reasonable prices. If you like an IPA the «I“owa Pale Ale is very good. There is a nice seating area both inside and outside.

As a home brewer, I am always interested in micro breweries when we travel.
Millstream is a great find. The beer is not good — it is excellent!
I like their «now and later» program — drink your fill and then buy some carry out.
Also, it is right on the bike trail. I would go there every night if it wasn’t for the 680 mile round trip commute from Kansas City. .. :)

Sunday afternoon, great host, sample and choose. No doubt, must stop. Sit on deck, enjoy!!!

Amana wouldn’t be the same without Millstream.
I brought my husband here (who is a craft brewery kind-​of-​guy).
He was impressed and we didn’t leave empty handed.
The shop itself is small and they do offer some souvenirs for purchase (steins, glassware, shot glasses, key chains, etc.
The patio is a great place to enjoy your adult brew or root beer.
Millstream itself is worth the trip to Amana.

Great stop while sightseeing in the Amana Colonies.

One of my favorite breweries! Great variety of brews, love their seasonal beers and if you can time it for the releases of their brew master series, its a lot of fun. Kids love their root beer and cream sodas.

So nice. We rode our bikes on the short 4 or 5-​mile trail right next to the brewery, and then sat outside Millstream to sample a flight of 6 of their beers. It only cost $ 10 and you get to keep the adorable taster glass with the Millstream logo on it after you’re done. I will definitely bring visitors here for a relaxed bike and brew afternoon again soon.

Beer + chairs = happiness

A serious good find in the middle of Amana, IA. For such a small place they brew some really good beer. Grab a pitcher and sit outside on their patio, its a nice break for the middle of the day.

What a great find when touring the Amanda colonies which is kind of geared to the AARP type cliental — no offense Amanas.
When I saw the brewery I ran over had a few samplers just like a flight of wine as my padres shopped for quilts antique and cured meats and cheeses. Go Millstream!
The Schild Brau Amber beer stood out but they were all good and reasonable priced.

This place is a delight! The beers they brew here are straight up delicious. The Stout can serve as a great meal by itself and the Amber is delicious. The Octoberfest they have each year is well worth the trip to sample and my theory is that the beer brats that accompany them are delivered straight for Mt. Olympus where Zues dines of them during the sacred week in Fall!
Each growler is full of a brilliant dance of beer and happiness and are available for around $ 8! Great for get togethers!
The different types of pops also make this place great for those that aren’t big into beers as well. The crème soda, black cherry soda and root beer are all worthy of your time and definitely leave you wanting more.
One of the better breweries in the area and with the Amana colonies right there, it’s the perfect start, finish, or both to a tour around the area! The outdoor beergarten is a great place on any afternoon that’s above 50 degrees and really adds to the ambiance of the quaint town it sits in.
Try it — you’ll love it!

The beer I got here was awesome! I forgot the name of what I had but I had a nice pilsner glass full of it which gave me a wonderful buzz. I also found out that they make root beer and such here so I picked up some very yummy cream soda here as well. This place is definitely a reason to go visit Amana!
