Detroit's Eastern Market Brewing's Paczki Beer returns this year, this time with two flavors – raspberry and blueberry.

"This is the third year in a row that we’ve doubled production, and we still anticipate selling out. Our 2023 version of Paczki Beer is at another level with a second flavor and redesigned labels, plus real vanilla cream and 42.5 lbs of real fruit per barrel of beer. Kudos to our entire team for making something great, even better," said Pauline Knighton-Prueter VP of Sales & Marketing at EMBC.
