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”.

Sampled between ratebeer and brewver, so no extensive notes were taken. This is a great Imperial stout , american style. No additions , no barrel ageing, no nothing. just plain brewing skills very well shown off. Tad bitter, some sweetness, roasty, thick bodied, and rather low carbo. lovely !

Can at beerlovers bar. In between ratebeer and brewver, so no extensive notes were taken. This was a pretty damn good NE style IPA. Smooth, creamy, low in bitterness, full in tropical fruits. Tad sweet perhaps ( too sweet to some, but not to me ) .

Opaque colour, small brownish head. Strong sweet and roasted aroma has cocoa, coffee, fruityness and dates. Medium to full-bodied. Robust palate with similar flavour than the aroma. Alcohol is warming, coffee and cocoa in the aftertaste. Maybe a bit spiceyness too. Quite strong winter warmer.
