Rochester Mills
Rochester Mills Beer Co.
Friends, Food & Beer
Here at West Side Beer we are celebrating having another amazing Michigan brand in Beer City U.S.A. – Rochester Mills Beer Co. is now in Grand Rapids!
Rochester Mills opened in 1998 in Rochester Hills, on the east side of the state. Since then, they have been busy brewing up a storm of handcrafted beer for our state. Erik Briggeman (director of brewing operations) and Forrest Knapp head the brewing process in the new 50-barrel production brewhouse. With their new brewhouse they have the potential to eventually annually produce over 200,000 barrels.
Along with their top-of-the-line brewhouse, they are continuing the craft can revolution. In addition to draft selections, Rochester Mills proffers up three of their most popular beer selections in cans. Milkshake Stout, Cornerstone IPA and Rochester Red are all available in cans so keep an eye out for them in the market. And don’t forget to grab a pint of Rochester Mills and welcome this new Michigan brewery into the Grand Rapids market!
Milkshake Stout 5% ABV
Four malts combine to create a stout with sweet, roasted malt flavor. Lactose adds body and sweetness, creating the perfect grown up milk shake.
Rochester Red 5.9% ABV
This English-style red ale pours ruby red. With mild hop bitterness and rich malty notes it goes down smooth.
Cornerstone IPA 6.6%
Dry hopped and full of citrus and pine hop aroma, Cornerstone pours amber and tastes deliciously bitter.
