Rochester, MI — Rochester Mills Beer Co. & Production Brewery announce a 2015 seasonal release date of July 31 for its Oktoberfest Celebration Lager, a malty, German-style Lager (or Märzen) with low to moderate hop bitterness featuring a medium body and brilliant amber color. Rich, yet easy drinking and incredibly delicious, this beer style has been made popular by the annual fall festival that originated in Munich, Germany and is now celebrated world-wide.
Due to its overwhelming popularity, Oktoberfest is consistently Rochester Mills’ best-selling seasonal beer. Available on draft and in 16 oz., full pint sized cans, Oktoberfest Celebration Lager will now be available for enjoyment during the late Summer and Fall seasons across Rochester Mills’ full distribution network, which includes all of Michigan as well as parts of Ohio and Florida.
Rochester Mills will also be hosting a beer release party on July 31 at its Production Brewery in Auburn Hills and continuing the celebration with events happening throughout the season. More information and tickets are available for $30 each at the following address:
“We are kicking off the Oktoberfest celebrations early this year,” said Rochester Mills Founder, Mike Plesz. “Each year we host one of the biggest Oktoberfest events in Michigan at our brewpub in downtown Rochester.
