BEER RELEASE | The Buck Stops Here
Beer Release Party
We are always looking for a great excuse to throw a great party in Portage, and there is no better reason than a beer release. Come get a glass while the keg still has that just-tapped smell.
🚨 ANNOUNCING the return of "The Buck Stops Here" – A Tribute to a Great Michigan Tradition. Complete with a brand new 2026 twist that even Truman would approve! 🦌
Release Date: Sunday, November 8th | Noon to 8 PM
At Presidential Brewing Company, we're raising our glasses to honor an OG beer friend and a timeless Michigan tradition. Join us for the release of "The Buck Stops Here" – a light American lager crafted with heart, paying homage to our friend Josh Buck, and celebrating the spirit of deer hunting season. 🍻
This year we're making history (again). Mini-kegs of The Buck Stops Here are available for the first time ever at just $35 each! 🛢️
❓ About "The Buck Stops Here":
This brew is more than a drink; it's a tribute. With each sip, you'll taste the dedication and camaraderie that define both our friendship with Josh and the storied tradition of Michigan's deer hunting season.
Tasting Notes:
✨ Crisp and refreshing with a clean malt profile
🍯 Light-bodied with a touch of sweetness
⚖️ A hint of hop bitterness for balance
🦌 Perfect for Deer Camp:
Take a piece of Michigan tradition with you to your deer camp. "The Buck Stops Here" is now available in convenient mini kegs, ideal for sharing stories and toasting to the adventures of the hunt. Best drank the night before opening day around a movie screen playing "Escanaba In Da Moonlight".
🌭 ONE DAY ONLY | Hunt and Gather Venison Brat
For the first time ever, and for this release day only, we're serving the Hunt and Gather Venison Brat. We worked with a local deer farm for the venison and a local packer to make the brats, then put our own twist on it. Fresh venison is mixed with pepper and garlic right in the brat, then piled with sauteed mushrooms, caramelized onions, house-made garlic aioli, and Swiss cheese. It's a one-day celebration of a classic Michigan pastime, and you will not see it on the menu again after Sunday. Don't miss it.
📅 Release Details:
Join us Sunday, November 8th to be among the first to experience "The Buck Stops Here." Share in the spirit of camaraderie, raise your glass to friendship, and celebrate a cherished Michigan tradition.
🎁 Get yourself registered for our Camo Giveaway! No purchase necessary, just come see us in person on November 8th and you could win a cooler full of goodies!
Get pumped. Make plans to stop by, grab a mini-keg for $35, try the venison brat, and pour The Buck Stops Here. The decision stops here. 🇺🇸
On tap for the party
This beer was made just for today. We didn't want to just sneak this onto the menu, it deserved a whole party. Come get a pour and take some home with you!
American Light Lager · 4.5% ABV
A Crispy Crushable Deer Camp Beer just in time for hunting season. Legend has it if you crack one of these in the blind, the deer come a running.
From the brewery
New in the cabinet: mini kegs! For the first time ever, you can take Presidential Brewing home in a mini keg, filled with The Buck Stops Here, and we think it's the perfect companion for the deer blind. Small enough to pack, and plenty to go around.
Share it with your hunting buddies, or drink it yourself?
From the kitchen
A beer release always comes with something fun to eat that is only available that day. All the more reason for you to come and see us.
If the special food offerings don't cut it for you, and you want a classic instead, our burgers, our pizza, and the rest of the regular menu will be available. Grab a plate you already love and drink the new beer with it.
