Denny Foster and Brandon Bischoff

Founder and Head Brewer, Main & Mill Brewing

Main & Mill Brewing Company in Festus, Missouri, has earned attention from enthusiasts for their big, rich, full-bodied stouts, such as their Barrel-Aged Imperial Breakfast Stout. Less well known is that they often brew lighter beers for their own pub, based on second runnings from those same huge grists.
