Description
As a microbrewery, our focus is on providing a wide variety of beer styles in addition to fostering the local interest in the brewing of craft beer. We consider brewing to be a craft and, whether you are brewing in your garage or on a huge production system, brewing a good beer and sharing it with others is a great way to bring together friends or even an entire community. We are proud to live in a town that is currently supporting two brewpubs and a nanobrewery, and look forward to doing our part to be a leader in the craft brewing revolution.

People in the U.P. work hard, take great pride in what is produced locally and have answered the call in supporting and improving the local economy. The name "Ore Dock Brewing Company" was chosen because we see our local ore docks as grand and iconic reminders of Marquette and the U.P.'s past, present, and future identity. We hope to provide a product and establishment that our community can be proud of for many years to come!

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-burnt dark orange to light amber color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Light messy lace.
The aroma had some toast, caramel/toffee malts, light biscuits, and then a light earthiness.
The flavor melds the previously mentioned aromas together somewhat earthy spiced with a touch of malty sweetness. All roams together into a light aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. ABV felt appropriate for what the brewer projected. Smoothness to a low key sort of hoppiness balances decently along my tongue.
Overall, fairly nice amber ale worthy of coming back to.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt orange almost copper color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white foamy head. Falls off into oblivion.
The aroma blends a nice clean malt base to some citrusy and piney bitter hops. Light toast.
The flavor blends the malty sweetness to the bitter hops in an \"old school\" sort of fashion. Fairly nice smooth to bitter aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Decent carbonation. ABV felt good for what was projected.
Overall, pretty good balanced \"old school\" sort of AIPA worthy of coming back to.
