Bellaire, Mich.-based Short's Brewing Co. is launching a custom brew that will be for sale only at Busch's Fresh Food Market stores in the state.

Short's beers have long been popular with the grocery chain's customers, John Hunter, marketing director for Busch's, said in a statement. "So we asked them to create a beer just for us."

Beginning in May, Busch's will offer that beer, Citra Local's Dry Hopped American Lager, a light pilsen malt with fresh grapefruit aromas, in six packs or singles.

Busch's Fresh Food Market operates 15 stores in Ann Arbor, Clinton, Carleton, Dexter, Farmington Hills, Livonia, Novi, Pinckney, Plymouth-Northville, Rochester Hills, Saline, South Lyon, Tecumseh and West Bloomfield Township.

The grocery chain plans to add a Canton Township store to the lineup in October.

Busch's has signed a long-term lease for a building on Canton Center Road near Cherry Hill Road and is renovating it for the new store, Mort Meisner, a spokesman for the company, said in an email.
