About Tin Mill Brewing Co
Tin Mill Brewing Co is a German-style brewery set inside a restored 100-year-old tin mill in the heart of Hermann, Missouri. Open since 2005, the brewery sticks to old-world brewing traditions, using imported German hops, malt, and copper kettles to create true-to-style Bavarian beers.

No IPAs, seltzers, or ciders currently listed. Non-alcoholic drinks available for kids and non-drinkers.
