We are going to be celebrating a historic milestone in the history of Millstream Brewery this Saturday night from 5-9pm. We're excited to be celebrating 30 years in the craft brewing industry and we'd like you to come celebrate with us! We are going to be starting the day with our Tour de Brew bike ride. Join us for our annual 38-mile bike ride at Millstream. We'll start at Millstream Brewery, go to Norway, then on to Blairstown, through West Amana and back to Millstream. The event is a poker run with stops to pick up your poker cards. Of course there is a great micro brewed beer waiting for you at each stop. Root beer too. At the end of the ride the best poker hands will receive door prizes. Live music will be Electric Mule. They'll play from 1 to 5 p.m. in the biergarten and we will be grilling those great Amana brats on the grill. Registration is from 9:30am-10:30 and the ride begins and ends at Millstream Brewery. $25. Registration the day of the event at Millstream. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Amana Bike Trail.
Then from 5-9 we will be continuing our evening with more live music, food and special beer releases. At 6:00pm you will meet the original founders and current owners of Millstream Brewery. We will be releasing a specially brewed 30th Anniversary Doppelbock that we brewed for the occasion! We pulled together previous Millstream brewers for this limited release collaboration brew. Current Millstream brewer, Chris Priebe and also Bill Heinrich of Solon's Big Grove Brewery; Aaron Taubman of the Purity Brewing Company in Warwickshire County, England; and Chris Ellis, the owner of The Quarter Barrel in Cedar Rapids all were on hand for this brew. Dogs on Skis will be performing and supper will be provided by Julia's Stone Pizza. Bring your lawn chair and join us for this historical occasion!
