Only reason we tried this place out was because we were in town and wanted to check out some local trivia. It's a small indoor seating area but they have outdoor seating and they make good use of the indoor space without feeling cramped. The brewery doesn't have a kitchen, but they overcome this by rotating local food trucks through every day. It works out well for people that can make it in regularly because they can try a variety of food from different food trucks from the area. There is also a dart board area set up which looks like a great time, though we didn't have a chance to play tonight. read more

Mispillion River Brewing made me love them!! I ate a cheesesteak from Little Lincoln Store here. Great place. The other patrons were very friendly. They have a great selection of beers. I loved both sours I drank. There were 2 more I wanted to try. Tim was awesome. It is below the canal so don't be in a hurry. Very fun rustic brewery decor. read more

I LOVE Mispillion River Brewing! Such a great local brewery with exceptional beers of many varieties. The staff are always super friendly, the crowd always laid back, and it's just a nice little place to have a beer and try something from their selection. Wanna do a tasting? Sure they can do that. Want to try a sip of something before you order? They will give you a little sip. I'm a big fan of IPA style and they never disappoint. Usually they have 4-5 different ones on tap. If you like sours, they usually have 4 or so. Porter? Yes. Stout? Yes. Lager ? Certainly. If you are anywhere near central Delaware, you have to come here, you won't be disappointed. read more

Craft Beer selection is fantastic! There is a good selction of IPA's, Sours, Porters & Cider! read more

Very nice location with a a big outdoor area. We sat at the bar and were greeted by a big dog - this place is definitely dog-friendly. Good selection of IPAs like Not Today Satan and Reach Around, plus War Llama Sour which ended up being a big hit. Service was fast and friendly, and to-go cans were plentiful. Make this a stop on your next drive down Route 1! read more

We decided to take a drive down to Mispillion for Saturday. We heard they were dog friendly but we were still cautious bringing our big ridgeback inside. However they were more than welcoming. I love sours and the War Llama is my absolute favorite. This sour stands out from any other I've ever tried. We also got 2 4-packs and a crowler as well. Also another fun thing is no change needed. The bills come to whole numbers, which I just think is convenient. There's not a ton of space inside but the crowed was circulating in and out. There is also nice outdoor seating. I'm looking forward to coming back! read more

Service was good. Beers and IPA's were good. They don't sell food, just snacks. Ambiance very laid back.

The food trucks are always good! your service is great! The mood is always so fun! I love this place like pretty awesome and cool

My least favorite beers are sour beers... until today. All 3 sour beers I had were pretty good. I even bought a "War Chest" 9-pack to bring home. Also. Special shout out to the Lager and a strange Jalapeño Heff. The Porter was decent. But a bit sour. The cider isn't made on site. But it was definitely worth a drink. read more

Very cool atmosphere. Nice, clean brewery with excellent customer service. The "bartender with the mask" ;) was so friendly and helpful. My bestie had the white stout, that was okay, it had a bitter back end (she has had much smoother white stouts), the heff was excellent; very smooth, without a kick in the back end. Her wifey liked the Not today Satan was her favorite IPA with Reach around in close second. Of course the sloth T-shirt was a hit with not only my bestie but her travel friends wanted a shirt too. Definitely a brewery to check out in the Delawar read more

This was such an unexpected gem! Saw this place while we were on the drive down to the beach and decided to stop in..there were a ton of really good/sweet sours and the tap room had a cozy feeling to it read more

There are these guys at the end of the bar that are hilarious!!! I can't wait to go back! Oh yeah the beer is great!

Attended "Brews by the Retention Pond" at Mispillion River Brewing ,Saturday night, with the live band "Native Tongue" playing to raise money for Delaware Brewers Guild. I was so impressed with the music, the tastings, and the large crowd of people. There were so many beers being sold from all the local breweries . My favorite IPA from Mispillion " Not today Satan" which ABV is 7.3 and has 5 ingredients which has a malty, citrus, Carmel taste is so good. I also enjoyed Dogfish "slightly Mighty" with just 95 calories and 3.6 carbs made with monk fruit to reduce the sugars but the best part it didn't taste like low calorie beer. I enjoyed the tasting room and loved that they allowed dogs. read more

I'll give this place 2 stars based solely on their beers and quality as a whole. Outside of that it gave me very local dive bar vibes as whole. When I lived in the area several years ago and was a frequent patron, it has very much changed in a negative way. We happened to visit on a karaoke night and the talent was ear deafeningly poor and we took our drinks to the outdoor patio and unfortunately piped the "singing" outside as well. I unfortunately couldn't drink fast enough to leave. I hyped this place us to my guests and was severally let down. read more

This brewery tasting room is on the small side, but they have an outdoor space (take advantage when weather is nice). This place has a quirky personality and so did the beers. Me & my friend decided to get flights and this was a good decision-we covered many of the brews and it gave us a better overall idea about their beers. I enjoyed the Rasberry Jacuzzi; Bowcaster; Blue Marbles & Not Today Satan (the name alone is too funny..lol). There were a few that weren't so great-but overall not bad beer! The staff could be more attentive and friendly to the questions patrons may have-once the drinks are served you are kinda of on your own? Not good! Do Better Mispillion! read more

After experiencing the fabulous Dogfish Head Brewery in nearby Milton, I had high expectations after a recommendation from our Airbnb host to check out Mispillion River Brewing. We decided to check it out on Saturday afternoon and pulled up to their space, located by an industrial business area. They have quite a selection of beers: lagers, sours, saisons, porters, you name it. I was even more intrigued because they had a lactose-infused raspberry sour and other great flavor profiles that were highlighted in their beers and descriptions. We got a sampler of 5 beers but you can have as many samplers as you'd like for $2 a taste. You can definitely feel the "geeky" side to this place in their music, their Millenium Falcon over their beer can, and their funkily decorated bathroom. Overall, the beers were a bit on the sweet end and overall, good but not the best I've had. I hate to deck places for customer service but they were not busy on the Saturday afternoon that we went and it took quite awhile for us to get any service. Even then, we were only handed a menu without really getting helped by the bar staff even though it, again, wasn't busy. My best friend and I were sitting at the bar and didn't really get much attention until we almost left ahead of a big limo bringing some guests in. I wanted to like Mispillion but it definitely left a bad taste and didn't have the beer to boot. Next time, I'll just go back to Dogfish. read more

Very enjoyable atmosphere and ambiance - friendly bar tenders. They have food trucks and music outside but limited space of tables and chairs. It's okay though because we are very much enjoying indoors! Will definitely return - great beers! I recommend trying a flight - lots of good choices! read more

We tried these beers while on vacation in the area. I placed my order online so was able to keep it all contactless and convenient. Owner was very nice and accommodated substitutions for anything I ordered that was unavailable. The beers were great! My husband and I enjoyed them all. The outside area looks fun...looking forward to visiting post Covid. read more

Awesome staff and good beers. I've had Mispillion in the past, but I never went to the Brewery until today. I had a mixed bag of beers, some of which I enjoyed and some were just ok. However, a few really stood out and I loved. Pineapple express, Not Today Satan, Dank Lord, and Vote for Pedro were really good. I really liked Pineapple Express and bought a crowler. Miss Betty and Nor Easter were good. War Lama and Raspberry Jacuzzi were not good at all. Katie the beer tender was awesome. I also like the vibe of the place. Very nice people all around. read more

Excellent spot! Went with a few friends to drink some beer outside. Was impressed with the quality of the beer and cider, and really enjoyed hanging outside by the stage. Such a neat location, I was really impressed and am excited to go back to hear some music, or sit around the fire pit. Great spot to hangout! read more

Pretty decent brewery for the middle of nowhere. Has a country feel to the place, they have live music, and very nice people and staff. The beer is pretty good and they have some different brews. The Jamaican jerk and mojito beer are very interesting. I loved the E=MC^2 BEER. Their stouts are very nice to the pallet. read more

Great service, personable. Great neighborhood hangout. Fun beer selection. Will stop by again.

Bartender knowledgeable, but there is NOT a beer for everyone. There are like 6 IPAs, 2 Lagers and 2 infused lactose beers. There are no wheat beers, no blonde beers. Not everyone is an IPA fan. Perhaps these are the only folks MRB is catering too. read more

Nice beers, nice staff, VERY hard to locate, tucked way behind a generic building center. Directional signage would increase sales undoubtedly (even u turns are difficult for those who persevere). We had the Reach Around which was my favorite. Overall pleasant experience once I found it! read more

Taproom is definitely small and gets packed on events. But it's worth it, the beer is great and a fair price. The staff is friendly and handles a big crowd very well. Try "Not today Satan!" It's my favorite, but it will sneak up on you! read more

Great brewery! Fun outdoor and indoor space. Tons of brews on tap. We had a blast trying every single one of them. Really enjoyed the IPA selection and found it was very easy to hang out there for hours. Super friendly atmosphere; a lot of us ended up talking to each other. Also - it's super dog-friendly too! read more

Mispillion River Brewing - Double Chin DIPA, Not Today Satan IPA, 369 D*mn She Fine Oatmeal Stout and Black Tie Black IPA Really outstanding beer! - Breweries Near Me - Milford, Delaware

This place is a shining example of how a brewery/bar should be run. The customer service is fantastic. The professionalism and friendliness of the staff here makes you feel like you've come home to family and friends. This is a relatively small space, and we showed up as a party of 25+. (We did phone to let them know, but they still worked with us to make everything fit.). The beers are very good and well priced. This is a hidden gem. read more

[Party of 5] This was our first time to this Brewery and I felt very lucky to have stumbled upon it. I won't review their beer because everyone has different tastes, you can check my untappd profile under the name of JohnnyNVA if you want to see specific ratings.I did enjoy their sours on tap though. The place is pretty much geek central, so we felt very much at home. SO much of their beer is named after scifi/fantasy shows that our minds almost exploded. And they brewed some good beers, so I am happy to say they didn't disappoint. Also, they had non-alcoholic Cold Brewed Coffee, of which some of our party was VERY thankful for. We will find our way back here again. read more

Great beer selection. Loved the variety and tried 2 flights. Bought a 4-pack to go. The staff is super friendly and chill.

The beer is great and their taproom is welcoming to hangout, play board games or watch the game.

This is my favorite brewery ever! Its exactly what a brewery (according to me) should be-- really really good beer, good people, dogs and all kinds, & a chill place to enjoy. Check it out! read more

We went here on Friday night. Nice atmosphere with band playing. Seats outside. Beer was good 6 samplers $12. You can get some cans to go. Lots of locals. Barkeeps were excellent. Very friendly and. knowledgeable. Think they occasionally have a food truck but none the night we were there. Go. read more

Tried 11 beers but did not bring a note pad. beach bum was my favorite. It was the most unique and creative beer they had and probably the most complex. I reckon a soft Belgian pale at its' base but had some well constructed tartness that I like a lot. sort of a Belgian pale that was engineered to be a bit more refreshing in lemonade stand sort of way(note this is not a shandy at all). aptly named and good for the mood on a hot beach day. enjoyed them all and thought each beer was solid. there were a couple spicy ones that were very well done. it's always great to have a proper spicy beer versus some one arbitrarily throwing in jalapenos or something. dunkel was the only one that struck me as sub par. thin...and not the right type of maltyness after taste too brief and fleeting. def no banana notes. not hating though! out of 11 beers this was the only one id review badly. friendly service that went out of their way to make us feel extra welcome and accommodated. they def went the extra step. one of the brewers gave an exciting tour for free. i wish the bartender was as enthusiastic about beer as the tour guide...but service and atmosphere were fantastic all around. read more

Visited Mispillion about two weeks ago and was not disappointed. Great spot with excellent beers - a solid 10 that were good across the board. I held a star back just because their double IPA wasn't on draft, but I'm sure they'll earn it next time I'm there. FYI the owner was there, and was an excellent to host, both to my family as well as my five year old. The brewery had a nice array of crafts and crayons and the like and my daughter had just as much fun as we did. We came from Ocean Pines, MD, and I have to say, well worth the drive! read more

I had an opportunity to visit Mispillion River Brewing in April for a trip I took to the Milford/Dover area. I was not disappointed. When I walked in, the crowd's attention was fixed on a high-energy live musician and everyone was sipping a favorite. We were able to get a drink right away, and had a chance to meet the owner and his wonderful wife. What a fabulous family-run company. Everyone on-site was knowledgable and positive about being a part of the team. As far as the beer goes, you can't go wrong. Until this trip, I wasn't a pale ale person because I can't stand hops. The beers here aren't too hoppy, but don't sacrifice flavor. Also, you're going to get a kick out of the names! Can't say enough good things about Mispillion, and I hope to go back sometime soon! read more

This place is pretty out there with a lot of their offerings. But they usually have about 10 beers or more on tap--so if they hit a home run on 3 or 4 that is good. I do not drink fruit beers and sometimes MRB has too many of them. They have a tasty porter. The Belgian Pale Ale has a lot of citrus and floral aroma to go along with the yeast esters, very different--but it works. During dinner time there is a food truck outside selling BBQ. This is a production brewery that has a busy tasting room. It isn't a brew pub. It is very much worth the 2 mile detour on the way to or from the beach. Cheers! read more

Great beer, great place to drink it, friendly folks and attentive staff....really like this place especially the Peat Smoked Porter and the Black Tie IPA. And the Jakarta food truck parked outside was fantastic. Clean with an really good selection of Asian dishes. Try the Indonesian Fried Rice extra spicy then come thank me for the tip. read more

I was here back in 2014 once, and all they had were IPAs, which I don't care for at all. I went back the other night for a going-away party for a coworker, and was pleased to see that their menu has expanded to include some sours and pale ales as well. The beers I had (Peach Jacuzzi and War Kitten) were both very delicious and reasonably priced. The bartender was awesome as well, and she handled the crowd like a pro and was super friendly. Even though the place is tiny and could benefit from a larger parking lot, the beer is tasty and the service is good. They also have live music, which is fun too. Overall a cute place and I'm glad they have been expanding with their beer selection! read more

Tucked back in the normal industrial complex. Becky was good at the taps , was very patient with the splashes requested . Would like to see some porters or stouts . Looks like they will be hitting the big times with the sign in 1 they will have a brewpub in coming years . Distribution is getting to me in Pa, looking for more great brews from them in future . read more
