Could it be possible I've never had beer from Main & Mill? I actually got it confused with 4204 Main St. Brewing in Belleville, which closed and now is about to reopen at 6435 W Main Street!
And could this possibly be one of the best beers we've had in a couple of years?

I also cannot remember the last time we started a beer dinner with a stout, much less Irish Beef Stew! February definitely is the season for a hearty soup to kick off a dinner. I'm sure there was a little bit of the beer, an Irish Paddy Stout of course, in the stew as well. It was an exceptionally smooth stout with no bitter beer face!

The Buffalo Pizza had quite a kick (for me) and I used ALL of the ranch that came with it on the side. This was well paired with an American Pale Ale that had big citrus notes. Definitely was necessary to help cool down my mouth!
I didn't think I would much like the Prosciutto & Arugula pizza, but really they should have just named it the Goat Cheese pizza and all would have been fine. I had a small piece and the goat cheese drowned out any piggy. Another good pairing with a Hefeweizen. Easy to drink.

The best beer of them all, was the dessert stout. That's something I don't think I've ever said either! The Morning Session Stout featuring Mississippi Mud coffee's espresso and cacao nibs had a huge chocolate flavor! The Cinnamon Rolls that went with it were decadent too.

One more thing I have also never said before, road trip to Festus may be added to the list??
