We are inspired by family, community and a passion for sharing our European-style beers with the North Country and beyond. Our aspiration with every recipe developed, every hand-selected ingredient and with every turn of our brewhouse is to produce nothing less than world-class beer. This, and the warm hospitality with which our beer is served, is our foundational value and differentiator. 

Our brewing focuses on lagerbiers, mainly from the German and Czech traditions, integrating time-honored methods and ultra-premium (often local) raw materials. We have developed deep and enduring relationships with family farms (both down the road from our brewery and in places like Bavaria, Germany) to ensure this quality standard. We research beer designs and communicate with raw material suppliers in English and German to hone our craft and stay current, regularly participating in the European brewing community to advance our learning and access.

History

Jeff, John, Matt and Stu opened Schilling in 2013 after restoring the red ca.1797 gristmill with a longstanding dream and a shoestring capital budget. This original, eccentric building with slanted floors and ancient timbers now serves as our pub and pizza kitchen, home to many singular beers and laden with memories of our earliest days. In 2018, we added our next-door Scandinavian farmhouse-inspired production brewery and wild beer facility, as well as our Store & Tasting Room. Our Mill St Kitchen–inspired by the beer-friendly fare found in a Munich close or an alleyway in Brussels–opened on the other side of our property in 2024. All feature glorious, sweeping views of the Ammonoosuc River, great food options and award-winning beers.
