Rochester, MI – Rochester Mills Production Brewery is pleased to announce it has begun distributing select beers from its portfolio in Florida by partnering with Gold Coast Eagle Distributing Company and Pepin Distributing who will represent the company’s brands in the Sarasota and Tampa marketplaces, respectively.
“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.
Rochester Mills expects to announce additional partnerships in the Florida market throughout 2015.
