Eastern Market Brewing Company is gearing up for another sweet celebration, announcing the return of its highly anticipated Paczki Beer series for 2026. The Detroit-based brewery, known for its innovative and flavorful beer offerings, is leveraging a significant milestone to introduce a revamped lineup, promising to delight pastry and beer enthusiasts alike.
A Tradition Reimagined
Founded by Dayne Bartscht, Eastern Market Brewing Company’s Paczki Beer series has seen remarkable growth since its initial release. Bartscht emphasized that 2026 represents the perfect moment to ‘rethink everything,’ allowing for greater experimentation with ingredients and brewing techniques. “We’re looking to push the boundaries of what a Paczki beer can be,” he stated. This year’s series promises a bolder approach, focusing on achieving precise control over mouthfeel, sweetness, acidity, and aroma – key elements that contribute to the beer’s signature character.
New Flavors Unveiled
The initial release includes five unique recipes, each meticulously crafted to complement the traditional Paczki pastry. Pre-orders are now open, but several of the most sought-after flavors – the Lemon Blueberry Sour Pączki and the Maple Coffee Pastry Pączki – have already sold out. Available for pre-order are:
1.
Classic Raspberry Blonde Pączki
2.
Cherry Cheesecake Imperial Pączki
3.
Orange Creamsicle Milkshake Pączki
Pickup Details and Limited Availability
Pre-orders can be collected in person at the brewery’s taproom, located at 2515 Riopelle Street, on February 11th, specifically timed to coincide with the annual Paczki Block Party on February 14th. Given the limited quantities of each beer, early reservations are strongly recommended. This approach ensures that customers secure their preferred choice before they are completely sold out.
What This Means for Consumers
The expanded offering of flavors signifies a commitment from Eastern Market Brewing Company to cater to a wider range of palate preferences. The brewery’s dedication to precision brewing demonstrates a clear understanding of the interplay between beer and pastry, creating a truly harmonious experience. Furthermore, the limited availability of the beers encourages strategic purchasing, adding an element of excitement and urgency to the pre-order process.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
Increased flavor variety, opportunity for early access to popular beers, supports a local brewery.
Cons:
Limited quantities, pre-ordering required, potential for disappointment if preferred flavors sell out quickly.
