The Rochester Mills brewery is located in a historic building in downtown Rochester, MI and is the first and only brewery to open in the downtown. Opened in 1998 by founder Mike Plesz, the brewery is a popular destination for residents and visitors alike.
In 2012 Plesz opened the Rochester Mills Production brewery some 5 and a half miles west of the brew pub and began selling the brewery’s popular beer in cans. The company currently sells five varieties; Rochester Red Ale, Milkshake Stout, Pine Knob Pilsner, Cornerstone IPA and Lazy Daze Amber Lager. The 48,000 sq. ft. facility handles the brewing and canning for the five beer varieties year round with the occasional seasonal selection.
