Beer from one of the world's oldest breweries is coming to Michigan.

Riegele (pronounced Rig-ula), will be available in bottles and on draft by the end of the month.

Through its U.S. importer, LuXe Brands, Riegele has signed an agreement with Imperial Beverage for Michigan distribution. Initial focus will be on distribution in Detroit and Ann Arbor.

Named German Brewery of the Year in 2017, Riegele was founded in 1386 and is considered one of the European beer giants leading breweries. Riegele also plans to expand into Tennessee in 2018.

Available beers will include its gold-medal winning Riegele Privat (Helles), named 2017 German Craft Beer of the Year; Augustus 8 (Weizen Dopplebock), named 2016 German Beer of the Year; gold medal winner Riegele Dunkel; and limited release Michaeli (sparkling Martzen).

Riegele is brewed under the direction of 28th-generation brewer Sebastian Priller-Riegele. All the company's traditional beers are brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot, a series of regulations sometimes called the "German Beer Purity Law," that limit the ingredients in beer.

However, the brewery allows for necessary modern brewing processes for more current beer styles like IPAs. For those beers, Riegele has defined its own "Naturlichkeitsgebot," meaning that only pure natural ingredients will be applied and allowed in the brewery.

Riegele is currently being distributed in bottle and draft in Florida, Ohio, Indiana, New York, Kentucky and Massachusetts.
