Rochester Mills Production Brewery has announced it has begun distributing select beers from its portfolio in the Sarasota and Tampa markets.
Rochester Mills Beer Co. has been one of the top producing brewpubs in Michigan since it opened in 1998. The pub is a full service restaurant and offers a diverse beer menu with eleven different styles of beer consistently available as well as a number of reoccurring seasonal offerings. The Rochester Mills Production Brewery, brewers of Rochester Mills Beer Co. brands for distribution, began as a startup brewery in Auburn Hills, MI in 2012, quickly becoming one of the top craft beer producers in the state. Their Lagers and Ales are packaged in 16oz. aluminum cans.
“We are extremely pleased to be bringing our brands to the sizable Florida beer market,” said Mike Plesz, Founder of Rochester Mills Beer Co. and Production Brewery. “We were pleasantly surprised to discover the number of fans we already had here. But it makes sense,” he continued. “Countless Michiganders have migrated, vacation, retire and seasonally commute as snow birds to the Sun Shine State and now they, along with everyone else here, can enjoy our quality, craft beer from the Great Lake State.”
The new market expansion is happening while the company increases its distribution closer to home with a bigger presence in Ohio.
Gold Coast Eagle Distributing Company and Pepin Distributing will distribute multiple Rochester Mills’ brands, including Milkshake Stout, Rochester Red Ale and Pine Knob Pilsner packaged in full pint 16 oz. cans and in kegs for draft accounts.
The brewery expects to announce additional partnerships in the Florida market throughout 2015.
