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!

Draught at Ale Mary's, 12/22/23. Dark, tan bubbles on edge. Dark chocolate, very faint bourbon but not sugary or boozey. Pretty timid. Soft, richly malted, lots of strong, spicy bourbon. Heavy chocolate/cacao character and good acidity and attenuation. Medium-full body with no real syrup or chew to it, but still far from too light/thin. Bourbons a bit heavy/powerful. Just intense pepper, neatly sharp. At least it's dries the finish but there's more intense pepper lingering.

Poured a deep black colour with a creamy, brown head. Nice lacing. To the nose we get cinnamon, vanilla, minimal ginger, coffee and cocoa. First swig was interesting. Probably the spiciest beer I’ve ever had. Flavours of cinnamon, nutmeg, spicy pepper and coffee. Finish is warm, with almost too much cinnamon flavour. Drowns out everything else.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a crystal clear bronze color with a large khaki head and great retention. Fair lacing. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Sweet caramel malt flavor too, with just a hint of alcohol in the finish. Very clean, smooth, and tasty. Medium body and medium carbonation. Not bitter. Really good sweet Marzen.
