Beer Snobs Visit Millcreek Brewing Company - 7.6 out of 10

Millcreek Brewing Company 

Beer Snob's Rating: 7.6 out 10

Millcreek Brewing Company is located in an old historical building with three large areas where you can enjoy your brew! The front is somewhat modern, a restaurant/lounge with a bar.  There's a front patio and in the back is the Beer Garden. The Beer Garden is a large outdoor space and you can feel the beachy vibes since the brewery is located so close to Presque Isle. The crown jewel of this brewery is the glorious Bier Hall, complete with two story vaulted ceiling and donated pews for seating for a complete Bavarian feel. The room is loaded with TV's visible from all angles, so this would be an awesome place to watch the football game on Sunday night. Also, there are plenty of windows which is awesome for natural lighting, and the curious folk can get a glimpse of the tanks and brew works.

Atmosphere: 4/5


Menu: Large menu, American fare, some creative beer infused choices.

Live Entertainment: Frequent events, often with traditional Polka and German themed performers

Other Amenities: Beer Garden & Bier Hall.

Promotional: They have an awesome happy hour every day from 5-7... Half off brews!

What kind of other alcohol do they serve? ALL

The Beers We Tried

So-Cal IPA and Raspberry Weiss Guys
Raspberry Weiss Guys - A German Hefeweizen wheat ale with malt and wheat flavors and hints of clove, banana, and raspberry. 
5.5% ABV

Our take: Hoppy, but good for the IPA fans
Our rating: 8/10

Mystic Citrus IPA - Brewery provided description unavailable
4.8% ABV
3/5 on their hops scale
Our take: Light with mild hops, great summer citrus beer. Perfect amount of fizz!
Mystic Citrus IPA and The Creeker
Our rating: 8/10

The Creeker - A very smooth and drinkable amber ale with light malt flavor and very low hop bitterness.
5.2% ABV
1/5 on their hops scale
Our take: Unique, mysterious spicy/black peppery taste. We couldn't quite figure it out.
Our rating: 6/10

Overall suggested beer: Mystic Citrus IPA
