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!

Bottled Sep 3rd, 2019, drunk 11/29/24. Dark, possibly clear? Can't get much but quick tan bubbles from it. Big hazelnut wrapped around rich, dark roast. Light vanilla, bourbon spice, huge black pepper and fudgey mocha notes lingering. Maybe a pinch of alcohol warmth. Not hot. The hazelnut is strong, though does integrate itself better over the course of a half hour of breathing. Syrupy, rich, sweet, but with decent attenuation and good barrel mellowness. Spicy bourbon fits right in with dark, roasty, lightly fruity coffee and huge hazelnut flavor. Some light alcohol and lots of bourbon, bitter dark malts and lingering intense flavors, fairly well-melded. Pretty insane condition for a five-year old shelfie. Given that's it's still super intense, it must have been undrinkable when fresh...

Can, total wine. Eye is a virtually clear darker pale, maybe goldish light brown copper, quick white head. Nose is typical mildly sweet malty fest beer. Tongue is somewhat stronger than yer typical fest beer, quite a bit more medium bitter personality. Good co2 tingle on the palate. Seems a tad boozy in the middle for 5.6%. Either way, this is certainly presenting itself for the style. Towards the end, that bitterness seems to be retained on the surface of the taste buds. Finishes with a medium length slightly sweet bitter personality. Could use a few more manners, but not bad.

2024 bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of beige head that dissipates quickly. Vanilla and rye on the nose with dark malt and chocolate aromas. Palate is very similar with more vanilla, chocolate and light rye whiskey flavors. Balanced finish with creamy vanilla, chocolate and rye whiskey that lingers.
