About 16 miles south, southeast of St. Louis is the small village of Millstadt, Illinois. Residing in the village of just 4,000 people is Millpond Brewing - who has quickly made a name for themselves in the beer scene while remaining quite elusive and under the radar.
Millpond takes their name from their local history. The city used to have three mills that shared one body of water and, in the summer the whole city would swim, fish, have picnics, and hold family gatherings around this millpond.
Their focus is centered around improving their community, using local ingredients, and offering a variety of beers and styles.
