A four-year hiatus ends today. Reservoir is back! 🌊

We’ve been having a lot of fun bringing back some of our favorite brews we haven’t made in ages, and this particular one is a true blast from the past.

Originally released in April of 2021 as the debut beer in our “Body of Water” series, we’re thrilled to finally have this recipe back on the tap wall for the first time in over 4 years.

Double dry-hopped it with Citra and Galaxy. The combination brings out deep tropical and citrus notes, passion fruit, pineapple, tangerine, and grapefruit, all balanced by a smooth, round finish.

Come by the taproom today for a pour. Cheers! 🍻

👑 Milklörd 2026 has arrived! 👑

Milklörd 2026 - NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

IN PERSON sales begin today when we open at Noon along with pickups, plus limited draft pours while they last!

Milklörd is our tribute to the art of boundary-pushing collaborations. This release proves that when you treat a polarizing spirit with some lager patience, you can create an entirely unexpected, conversation-starting experience.

Cold-aged in a barrel that previously held Chicago’s most famous, love-it-or-hate-it spirit Jeppson's Malört
A true team effort with our buddies 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫

Milklörd (2026)

Style: Malört Barrel-Aged Helles-Style Lager

Collaboration: Little Lager (St. Louis) & Carl
Jeppson Company (Chicago, IL)

Barrel-Aged: Cold-aged in Jeppson’s Malört barrels.

ABV: 4.8%

Tasting Notes: The initial sip delivers the smooth malt of our Munich-Style Helles, which seamlessly transitions into the unique character of the barrel.
Bright grapefruit and a touch of vanilla sweetness round out the mid-palate, completely stripping away the spirit’s aggressive bite while keeping its bold essence. The finish is soft, dry, and lingering.

👑 The Return of MILKLÖRD arrives THIS FRIDAY! 👑

What started as a wild idea with our friends at has officially earned a cult following!

Milklörd represents the ultimate boundary-pushing collaboration at Millpond, taking the clean, elegant foundation of our beautiful Helles-Style Lager and colliding it with the legendary, polarizing Chicago spirit

This year’s version rested in a vessel with a notorious history, a barrel fresh from our friends at Jeppson’s Malört.
For those brave enough to dive in during last year’s inaugural release, you discovered an entirely unexpected result. The intense herbal profile of Malört softens beautifully in the cold-aging process, yielding bright citrus and smooth wood notes.

500 Brews & Counting. 🍺

A double batch of Old Millstadt is always a marathon, but today is a monumental day on the brew deck.
When we mashed in the first batch at 6:30am this morning, it officially marked Brew #500 here at Millpond.

I even included a few photos here of our very first brew day.

There felt like no better way to mark the milestone than by double-batching our flagship Light Lager. Today also marks the 66th and 67th batches of Old Millstadt, the most we have brewed of any single beer.

Five hundred turns of the brewhouse is a lot of grain, a lot of late nights, and a whole lot of great beer shared with all of you.
We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Swing by the taproom this week to celebrate 500 batches with a fresh pour! 🍻
Here’s to the next 500!

June Whiskey Tasting 🥃

We still have tickets left for our June tasting featuring a Three Year Vertical of Blood Oath!

Every batch of Blood Oath is the undertaking of one man, John Rempe, a student of both bourbon and science.

This rare whiskey shall never again be made.
He has one goal in mind with each release, to seek out bourbons rare and wonderful, famous and forgotten, then bottle them in combinations previously unimagined for a lucky few.

This whiskey tasting will include the following cocktails and pours:
- Blood and Sand welcome cocktail
- Blood Oath Pact No. 10 (2024): Finished in Cabernet Franc and Merlot barrels (.5oz)
- Blood Oath Pact No. 11 (2025): Finished in Añejo Tequila barrels (.5oz)
- Blood Oath Pact No. 12 (2026): Finished first in Montepulciano and then in Sangiovese Italian red wine casks (.5oz).

Join us at Millpond on Wednesday, June 17th from 6:30pm-7:30pm

Purchase tickets ($35) via the 🔗 in our bio or on our website!
