Milltown Wheat highlights the finest qualities of American Wheat Ale with a smooth, medium-bodied profile made from 50% white wheat malt. Brewed with Amarillo hops, it features lively floral and citrus notes balanced by subtle malt sweetness. This hazy golden ale pours with a thick, lingering white head and finishes clean, crisp, and refreshing.
Starting his own microbrewery had always been a dream of Tim Koster, owner of Koski’s Home Brew Fixens in the Historic District of Moline, IL. One day in 1996, homebrewer and Koski’s customer Darron Morris asked Tim what it would take to start up a microbrewery. The two summoned the courage to turn their dreams into reality, and Bent River Brewing Company was born in 1997. With the help of several investors, they were able to purchase the remainder of the 1922 Italian Renaissance-style building that housed the homebrew store, and then transform it into a brewpub. The company received an award for their renovation of the building by the Moline Preservation Society. The brewpub features a full food menu and plenty of beers on tap, and remains a popular watering hole for the local fans of good craft beer.
In 2012, Bent River Brewing Company added a second location in order to address their need for increased production capacity. Located in Rock Island, this package brewery houses a bottling line and shipping center, allowing the company to efficiently brew and distribute their beer throughout the area. The location also features a tasting room where you can sample any of Bent River’s year-round beers as well as their rotating seasonals. For more information, visit them at www.bentriverbrewing.com.
