Rootbeer
Danielle S.

This is such a charming brewery with great service. Am not a beer fan, but I will tell you that the root beer on tap is top-notch. They have a wide variety of beer, 1 gluten-free cider, and snacks for purchase. Don't forget to take your free selfie pictures on the music jukebox.

Came here thinking it was the Millstream Brau Haus for a Yelp event... it's not, but still had a good drink. I had the moon glow cider and Nick had the Farmer's tan. Both were good and had full flavor. Pretty busy place, not a ton of seating. 2 TV's to watch the game and looks like they have several Evans through the week.

They drinks were good and the bar munchies we ordered were tasty. The place was super cold inside (but to be fair it was 40 below zero windchill outside) but the service was stellar. It was packed with people but it felt like they had ample staff because our needs were met. If you are ever in the middle Amanas give this place a try.

Root beer

Came to try the homemade root beer and was not disappointed. Quick and friendly transaction and a delicious beverage.

Lots of options here. - Several glasses of beer and soda are arranged on a metal outdoor table at a brewery patio with umbrellas and neighboring houses.

We had a nice stop on a Wednesday mid afternoon. It was peaceful and quite on our stop just how I like it. We tried several beers and didnt hate any of them. They did have a nice selection of beers from dark to light. We had a huge pretzel as a snack that was also 4 star worthy. They have a nice menu to feed anyone willing to eat.

Cute place with a cool vibe. Service & food was good. We wanted a couple things but they were out unfortunately. The German potato fries are really good, very well seasoned. Salad was ok.

Backroad oatmeal stout. - A pint glass containing dark stout beer with a light tan head, placed on a coaster on a wooden table.

This place is a delight! The beers they brew here are straight up delicious. The Stout can serve as a great meal by itself and the Amber is delicious. The Octoberfest they have each year is well worth the trip to sample and my theory is that the beer brats that accompany them are delivered straight for Mt. Olympus where Zues dines of them during the sacred week in Fall! Each growler is full of a brilliant dance of beer and happiness and are available for around $8! Great for get togethers! The different types of pops also make this place great for those that aren't big into beers as well. The creme soda, black cherry soda and root beer are all worthy of your time and definitely leave you wanting more. One of the better breweries in the area and with the Amana colonies right there, it's the perfect start, finish, or both to a tour around the area! The outdoor beergarten is a great place on any afternoon that's above 50 degrees and really adds to the ambiance of the quaint town it sits in. Try it - you'll love it!

Great selection. Try to amber

What a great find when touring the Amanda colonies which is kind of geared to the AARP type cliental -- no offense Amanas. When I saw the brewery I ran over had a few samplers just like a flight of wine as my padres shopped for quilts antique and cured meats and cheeses. Go Millstream! The Schild Brau Amber beer stood out but they were all good and reasonable priced.

Live music outside.  Good food, good beer

I've been to the Brau house many times, but this was my first trip to the brewery. I was there for an outside event but ventured inside for drinks. It's exactly what you'd expect from the Amanas. Rustic and quaint. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the beer was delicious. I had a peach type that was the best I've had. My granddaughter had a root beer which was also great. I'm going back for the ambiance which was so relaxing and the great beverages.

My husband and I are on a mission to try all of the breweries Iowa has to offer. Millstream had been on our list for a while, since it's Iowa's oldest craft brewery dating back to 1985, but since we're from Des Moines it took us a while to make our way east. Yesterday we decided to make a trip to the Amana Colonies specifically to visit their taproom. We sat at the bar and shared a flight, which comes as six 5 ounce pours for $9 dollar-- such a great deal! We had the backroad stout, sour peach kolsch, lemon drop shandy, hot John, schild brau, and the German pilsner. I don't care if it's summer the backroad stout is always my favorite- full body oatmeal stout with coffee tones and a smooth finish. We also liked the sour peach kolsch for the opposite reasons- light, tart, and crisp. We were also pleasantly surprised by the hot john, a seasonal beer, which was explained to us as being made with the john's white ale and hot peppers soaked in ever clear. The beer was very aromatic of spicy peppers and had the warmth you'd expect from a pepper, but it wasn't actually spicy. The taproom is big and open and the bar is designed with natural wood with a live edge. The staff was great too! The bartender chatted with us about the beers and was very generous about letting us taste the other beers not in our flight. The beer hall also serves food and treats, which we didn't have but looked wonderful and rustic.

See all

The oldest running micro brewery in Iowa and they offer a solid line-up of great beers at reasonable prices. A job well done.

I also found out that they make root beer and such here so I picked up some very yummy cream soda here as well.
