"About eleven years ago we visited Boon in Belgium and were delighted to find their geuze in tiny 25 cl beer bottles in the brewery shop. It seemed outrageous to have such a beer in such openable bottles. Needless to say, the remainder of the trip was peppered with tiny geuze portions at every opportunity. Breakfast geuze?

Last year we filled a blend of Running Beer into 375 ml half Champagne bottles for the first time, with the aim of having a more portion size option of our house beer. We've come to the conclusion that we only did half the job though, and are delighted to present Running Beer in our lovely 330 ml beer bottles, slowly conditioned in bottle just like the 750s (which we will continue to release Running Beer in too).

Running Beer is the first beer we designed for Mills Brewing. It is the purest distillation of how we make beer. This is blend sixteen. The average age of the beer at bottling was 25 months.

We aim towards a similar flavour profile for Running Beer each time, however we still have no set recipe. The grains and hops are varied for each brew. A variety of worts are produced using traditional turbid mash methods and aged hops, before spontaneous fermentation in different types of barrel. We welcome the natural variation given by the wild fermentation. At the point of blending, our aim is to make the body relatively full for the ABV. This is aided by the inclusion of large quantities of rye grains in most of the brews we use in Running Beer"

"Bottled Dec 2025 - A session strength version of Islay Brut, our peat-smoke Champagne beer. Referred to in-house as "the beer no-one was asking for." Tiny Islay is a single barrel release, brewed in March 2023. The worts was produced from a traditional turbid mash with a decent quantity of maize, giving a more delicate flavour and paler colour than malted barley. It underwent spontaneous fermentation in a small Islay whisky barrel, imparting aromas of maritime peat smoke. Upon tasting the barrel, we were delighted to find the beer possessed just the right balance of dry-bitter and sweet-acid, as well as the necessary body to carry the smoke, without the need for the ABV-boosting sugar additions we have previously utilised to strike the right balance with these smokey beers. Finally, the beer was conditioned in-bottle for four months. A large dose of priming sugar was added to produce a rolling, Champagne-type, carbonation. The resulting beer drinks remarkably easily, with delightful sweet, smoky, and spicy aromatics."

"Sour Ale with Yellow Peaches & a hint of Timut pepper."

"For with beer we wanted to pay hommage to one of our most beloved cocktails: the Negroni! We brewed an Imperial Sour then added a complex mix of spices and citrus to mimic the taste of gin, vermouth and Campari. And then finished it with hibiscus for it’s beautiful red color."

" Dulle Teve aged for 19 months in Amarone red wine barrels."

"Dulle Teve matured for one year in Pinot Auxerrois white wine barrels."

"Green Curry Sour with fresh thai basil, lemongrass, coriander, ginger, lime, green chilies, cumin and coriander seeds."

"A blend of several open-fermentation barrels aged for 4 and 2 years without topping up. We then macerated Chenin Blanc grape pomace for a week."

"A geuze-inspired blend of wild ales was aged between one and four years in oak."

"Fellowship 2025 Ale No 1

Elanor is a fruit sour ale of 7% alc. vol., a union of sun and bright acidity, oak-aged and richly macerated with 100% Schaerbeek cherries. Each cherry was hand-picked in two hidden places near Brakel, where the trees still whisper in the morning mist and the fruit glows like rubies among the leaves."

"Fellowship 2025 Ale No 4

This ale is a noble blend of ancient brews, where Cuvee Sofie (aged almost 3 years on red wine barrels) meets Dorwinion (over 2.5 years on Tokaji barrels), united by the wild essence of sloeberries and mulberries."

"You read that well, a sour beer inspired by pastis! :) spiced with our homemade mix of pastis spices: anise, licorice, fennel seeds, star anise, rosemary, lemon.. Hazy like a fresh glass of pastis mixed with water. Cheers!"

"For this collab with our friend Flo from the Wild Lab, we went with the surprising combination of beetroot and passion fruit. All this in a tangy beer that hides its alcohol content terribly well..."
