Gold Coast Eagle, Pepin Distributing bringing Rochester Mills beers to Gulf Coast
Rochester Mills Production Brewery has begun distributing some of its beer lines in Florida through a partnership with two Gulf Coast alcohol distributors. Gold Coast Eagle Distributing Co. will represent and distribute the beers in the Sarasota market, while Pepin Distributing will bring them into the Tampa market.

“We were pleasantly surprised to discover the number of fans we already had here,” Mike Plesz, founder of Rochester Mills Beer Co. and Production Brewery, says in a press release. “But it makes sense. Countless Michiganders have migrated, vacation, retire and seasonally commute as snowbirds to the Sunshine State, and now they, along with everyone else here, can enjoy our quality, craft beer from the Great Lake State.”

Pepin Distributing and Gold Coast Eagle Distributing will supply several Rochester Mills' brands, including Milkshake Stout, Rochester Red Ale and Pine Knob Pilsner packaged in 16-ounce cans and kegs.
