Ellison Brewery + Spirits
Microbrewery
in East Lansing,
Michigan,
United States 🇺🇸
Associated Venue: Ellison Brewery + Spirits
Established in 2015
At the time, Lansing didn’t have a brewery large enough to sell its beer outside of its own taproom. Now, there are breweries all over the map competing for marketshare.
Ellison has made it a mission to experiment. A continual refinement of beer, wine and spirits. Sure, we have the usual suspects, but we’re always looking for new flavors. With over 700 different locations across the great state of Michigan to purchase Ellison product, we’d like to say “people like our stuff”.

16oz can from arminjewell pours a muddy, dark orange on the verge of amber with some soapy, lacing white head. Nose has mango, guava, some, tangerine, some green vanilla, a little apricot. Flavor is sweet with vanilla and oats, guava and mango, apricot, orange, a little honey comb, mild candy. Finishes a touch tannic, a little paper, and a little booze.

On tap at Hopcat A2. Pours a cloudy orange with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has lots of grass and pine notes with a bit of grapefruit underlying. Flavor has a bit of a citrus bite but it is mainly pine bitterness with some grass backing.

Draft at the source. Good, fresh citrus aroma. Slightly malty with nicely balanced hop a and bitterness. Smooth drinking for the high ABV.

Draft. Ugly yellow. Taste didn’t make me a fan, either. I think something was wrong with this. It had a sour taste. Interestingly, though, my wife thought it was okay so she finished it.
