DETROIT (FOX 2) - With Fat Tuesday just a month away, Eastern Market Brewing Co.'s paczki-packed beer is making its return.

This year's release includes a returning favorite - Raspberry Pączki, along with a new brew - Chocolate Cream Pączki, which was selected after testing it against another flavor at Ferndale Project. Both of the pastry-inspired beers are blonde ales crafted with real paczki, making for a sweet treat in a glass.

It gets even sweeter… Eastern Market Brewing Co. also plans to do a small batch release of Rose Petal Pączki Beer. An exact release date wasn't shared, but the brewery said it will be closer to its Pączki Block Party, which is planned for March 1.

Also, the brewery is selling paczki merch this year.

"Pączki beer isn’t just another release—it’s what keeps us going through the toughest months. The response blows us away every year, but it means even more in 2025. It’s more than beer; it’s a tradition, a celebration, and a reminder of the incredible community that supports us," said Dayne Bartscht, the founder of EMBC.

Pre-orders for paczki beer are open now, and the beer will be available for pickup at EMBC from Feb. 12 through March 1.
