About
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!

Thiolized New England IPA from Odd Side Ales
3 years ago
7.5/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of fluffy white foam that dissipates quickly. Lots of tropical fruit on the nose - mango, passionfruit, guava and touch of apricot as it warms. Crisp and clean on the palate with a soft mouthfeel under the carbonation. Melon and muted pineapple. Finishes dry with more tropical fruit notes.

Sampled from the tap at Forward Craft & Coffee. Pours a near clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has pine and a slight dankness with some rind and sweet grain backing. Flavor is more dank with pine and onion with earthy grass a bit of sweet grain underlying.

12oz bottle at share, 2016 vintage. Dark brown opaque pour, thin beige head. Hazelnuts hit the nose right from the start, nutty, sweet, chocolate. Taste is sweet and sticky, hazelnuts galore and finally some boozy bourbon notes. Held up in the cellar very well.
