Description
Odd Side Ales is a family of gifted individuals, focused on the shared goal of crafting unique products, while maintaining the utmost quality.
Our story began in 2010, as a micro-brewery producing craft beer from our pub located inside the historic piano factory in Grand Haven, Michigan. We quickly outgrew the pub’s brewing capacity and now, after three different expansions, brew from our own 44,000 sq. ft. facility.
Our main focus is to creatively stay on the leading edge of craft beer styling. While maintaining a large core of year round and seasonal favorites, we strive to introduce new recipes that push the boundaries of flavor combinations and craft beer categories. Everyone at Odd Side Ales is here because they have a true love of craft beer, the industry as a whole, and the people who drink and enjoy what we are able to do each day!
Beyond Michigan, we now distribute to Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. We hope to continue our growth, expanding our reach even further, and share our craft as far as possible!

Are almost our coffee, vanilla and caramel. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, add in a bit of mint and cheap candy. It's okay but I wouldn't want another.

Can thanks to my mom! Pours an oily black with a chocolate brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy dark grains and dark coffee with a some deep roast and a touch of bourbon supporting. Flavor has a nice dark chocolate and dark grains with some roast and bourbon backing.

12oz can, 2020 vintage, drunk 3/25/24. Clear, bright auburn-amber. Medium-sized, beige head showing pretty decent retention for its size and age. Clear. Nose shows the mint quite in the forefront though the spicy and nutty rye is right there with it. Strong, yet not boozey, with big malts that seem well-attenuated. Malty, minty, well-attenuated, good depth and good flavors with some excellent whiskey character. I'm not sure I love the mint, and anything less than the current four years of age on this would probably be way too minty (can't imagine this stuff fresh). But the rye helps, and it's not too heavy on the caramel flavor. Great texture/body/carbonation.

12oz can. Pleasant enough coffee Blonde. Nice bitter balance, not overly sweet like its close relative the White Stout. Medium bodied, not thin. All around enjoyable.

12oz can. Surprisingly OK. The mint is restrained, so that helps a lot. Otherwise, drinks like a sessionable White Stout/Coffee Blonde. OK.
