About an hour and a half west of St. Louis along the Missouri River, is a small German town called Hermann. Hermann is best known for its Viticultural area (wine country), but you can’t have a German village without good beer. Supplying that beer is Tin Mill Brewing Company. As you can imagine Tin Mill gets its name from its building. The 100 year old mill turned brewery brews its beers based on the German Purity Law of 1516. Tin Mill has 20 taps with all but one available with its house beer plus 6 packs to go cold or room temp. Order food/beer from the bar and venture out to their large biergarten outside or the bier hall downstairs in the basement. Afterwards make sure to take a stroll down their brewing hall, where you can get a self tour of the brewery which leads into Tin Mill’s merchandise store.

Brewery Review

Beer: 0.5

We ordered a flight of Chipotle Imperial Pilsner, Triple IPA, First Street Wheat, Skyscraper, Red Caboose, and Midnight Whistle. Chipotle Imperial was a perfect blend of heat and boozy that made for a delicious brew. Red Caboose was an easy drinking light american amber. Skyscraper was a clean crisp German pilsner. Triple IPA, First Street, and Midnight Whistle were all average for their style.

Atmosphere: 0.75

A true YNDA environment as the brewery states “Lieblingslokal”, a place where the host is a friend and always has a place at the table. This is very evident from the large groups and communal style seating.

Uniqueness: 0.75

Self brewery tour, the old mill building, and history of the Hermann.

Service: 1

Bartender was very helpful as he gave us a brief history of Tin Mill and was knowledgeable about all the beers on tap.

Wildcard: 0.75

European service style bar which have no seats. No waiters as all orders come from the bar.

Total: 3.75 out of 5
