Some years ago, three Amana men decided to revive the art that hasn't been practiced in Amana for years - the art of brewing beer. Carroll F. Zuber and brothers James and Dennis Roemig dreamt of building a small brewery to produce small batches of hand brewed beer reminiscent of Europe's finest brews. To brew the best they needed the best, so they called on one of America's premier brewers, Joseph Pickett Sr., who helped in the brewery design, in the development of the beers, Millstream Lager and the robust, Schild Brau. Later, Millstream Brewers, developed the zesty Millstream Wheat Beer. In 1985 Millstream Brewing Co. opened its doors - the first brewery to operate in Amana since 1884. So the Millstream Brewery was born and so it has come to be recognized as the home of quality brews of rewarding taste. The Story Continues in 2000 with the sale of the brewery to Chris Priebe, Aaron Taubman, and Teresa Sly Albert. Aaron is from a biochemistry background, and so is good at keeping the brewing yeast happy, an important part of the beer making process. Chris is naturally handy, and keeps the "classic" bottler in tip-top shape. Aaron and Chris are also both trained brewers from the Siebel Institute of Brewing Technology. Teresa is an excellent people person and handles all the sales and marketing. It takes a good team to run a good brewery!

I love having a brewery like this in my backyard. Excellent beer and soda also. No other root beer compares to theirs!

Millstream is really awsome! They have several brews that have won national awards. If you haven't tried them, the Schild Brau Amber and John's Generations White Ale are their top award winners. The Schild Brau Amber is my favorite! Great events they hold at the brewery throughout the year too.
