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!

Sampled at SAVOR. Poured a slightly straw color with a slight foamy white head. Aroma was mild pineapple, tropical fruit citrus. Flavor was mild pineapple, tropical fruit citrus. Okay, but not as "pineapple" as I was hoping for, though I suppose the beer could have been a bit too tart (not sour tart, but the kind of tart that pineapple can be) if it was a bit more like pineapple.

Poured at SAVOR. Dark brown, tan head. Aroma was roasted cocoa, vanilla touch, with a lot of chili pepper notes, other various spices, sweet roasted malts. Strange, odd, but quite enjoyable. Perhaps a bit too much heat on the back of the throat for many, but I really enjoyed that sensation.

Bottled. A hazy dark golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of peaches, malt, and a bit of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of peaches, malt, and bread, leading to a dry finish. Thanks pinball for sharing.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Pinball. Pours yellow with a slight haze and a creamy and lacing off-white head. More peach than tea in the nose. Fairly light body, a dry fruitiness with distinct notes of peach - and perhaps even a little tea towards the finish. Has a late slight tartness. Dry finish. But quite drinkable. 290512

2011 bottle shared by badnewsbeers. Deep opaque brown-black body, thick puffy light brown head. Nose primarily burnt sugars, coffee beans, and bourbon; toasty and sweet and surprisingly delicate. Tannic, dry body with bourbon and potent oak, too much for the relatively light body, which features roast, burnt sugars and dark chocolate. A touch acrid in the finish. The nose is the best attribute of this beer.
