Rochester Mills 360 Oktoberfest Cans Coming to 
Lion’s Ford Field for Monday Night Football

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - Sept. 2, 2014 - PRLog -- Rochester, MI – September 2, 2014. Are you ready for some football and craft beer? The Rochester Mills Beer Co. & Production Brewery will debut this year’s batch of Oktoberfest Celebration Lager in 16 oz. cans utilizing the innovative 360 End™ beverage can technology developed by Crown Holdings, Inc. (www.crowncork.com) at Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions just in time for their National Football League home opener on Monday Night Football, September 8th. The entire lid of the can is removable, turning it into a convenient topless drinking vessel and eliminating the need for separate glassware.

“The topless can technology allows the full flavor and aroma of the beer to hit the drinker’s senses and makes the can the perfect package for sporting or concert venues and situations where you want to be able to serve beer easily in a light, non-breakable container,” says Rochester Mills founder Mike Plesz.

Rochester Mills was the first local craft beer available on draft and in 16 oz. cans at Ford Field.

Visit Ford Field’s craft beer stands to find cans of Oktoberfest Celebration Lager as well as Rochester Mills’ fan favorites Rochester Red Ale and Pine Knob Pilsner on draft.
