Description
In 2015, Ellison was created from humble beginnings.
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”.

Aroma is odd with some English hops, hay and licorice. Flavour has toffee, English hops and some licorice. Not exactly my thing.
