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!

Bottle from Drankenspeciaalzaak Jelle, Leeuwarden. Very spicy aroma with lots of cinnamon, nutmeg, roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, and chili peppers. A touch of vanilla and liquorice. Flavour is almost medium sweet with a mild bitterness and a pleasant chili burn. Body is medium. Fun Stout, very spicy with cinnamon in particular dominating the aroma.

Bottle from Lekkerbier, St. Nicolaasga. Aroma is fruity resinous hops with citrus, orange, booze, pine resin, tropical notes, mango, and some pale malt. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a medium bitterness and a boozy bittersweet finish. Body is above medium. A bit too boozy but enjoyable fruity resinous hoppy aroma and bittersweet flavour.

Can from Kisjes Slijterijen, Meppel. Aroma is sweetish peach and raspberries, sweet candy flavour with a little lactic tartness. Mild, easy, candied, okay on a hot summer day. Thankfully it's a bit tart.
