Established in 2016
Earthen Ales started out as Jamie and Andrew Kidwell-Brix, and we like to make beer. No, seriously. We really like to make beer, so we were making more than we could drink ourselves. So we invited over our friends, and still we had too much beer, so we decided we needed more friends, and that is where you come in. We opened Earthen Ales to share our beer with you, dear reader.
And we will always be thankful to everyone that helped by contributing to our crowdfunding campaign!
What kind of beer do we make? We like to brew beer that reminds us of places we’ve lived, places we’ve visited, and the friends we’ve made along the way. More importantly, we like to brew beer that brings people together here in beautiful Northern Michigan.

16 oz can from the brewery. Pours yellow with very slight haze and a white head. Pilsner malt aroma with some herbal hops. Flavor leads with a hoppy herbal, earthy edge and a nice light bitterness alongside the pilsner malt. Well made.
