Hidden Moon Brewing is here to bring you delicious, limited release, beers… but we won’t be making any old beer – we will be making the oldest kind: braggots (beers brewed with honey in additional to malt and hops). A Braggot can be either a beer fermented with honey, or a beer and a mead blended together after fermentation. The Hymn to Ninkasi is the oldest known recipe of beer, written around 1800 BCE, and it describes using honey in the brew process: “You are the one who holds with both hands the great sweet wort, brewing it with honey. You, the sweet wort to the vessel, Ninkasi.” Thiss ancient medley of malt, honey, and hops known as Braggot. Join us and discover why History Never Tasted So Good™.

Stark Brewing Company originally started back in 1994 as the Stark Mill Brewery. Stark Mill was the first brewery in the city, and was brought to life through the efforts of Brewmaster Peter Telge. Peter is a Manchester native, born and raised here in the Queen City and has been in charge of the brewery for over 20 years now. In 1999, the brewery underwent a rebranding to keep up with the times and opened back up as Milly's Tavern, named after Peter's favorite German Shepherd, who is honored in our logo. Stark Brewing Company is proud to continue its proud legacy as being Manchester's only brewpub, bringing fresh beer, delicious food, and great times to the people of New England.
