Millrace Amber
Old Shoals Brewing
Colbert County, Alabama
Brewed with water off the shoals and named for the race that ran the corn mill until 1948. Two barrels at a time, no more.
- amber
- malty
- small batch
Small-batch beer, cider, and mead from creek-water towns and old mill buildings. You'll find hoppy porch-sitters, dark winter stouts, and seasonal one-offs brewed a few barrels at a time. Every bottle comes from a brewer who still labels by hand.
Long before anybody called it craft, somebody's uncle had a crock going in the cellar. These are the small houses carrying that on — brewers working out of feed stores, mill buildings, and back rooms, using the same water their granddaddies drank.

Off the shelf, down the road
There's more than what hangs in the BrewBarn — pick a state and go treasure hunting through hand-checked makers down the road and a county or two over.
