Ellison Brewery + Spirits, coming to E. Lansing Summer 2015

I happen to know one of the owners. He's a really great guy with awesome experience in the industry. That, paired with Todd (formerly of Kuhnhenn) should make for a great addition to the area and MI craft beer/spirits!! Go luck guys!

 

*Good luck

 

Saw this posted a week or so ago.

As long as their beer is better than their logo...

 

Beer is in the Tanks. 10.5% Dripa'esque IPA and "Mud" Slinger 11% imp chocolate milk stout, yes please.
They're brewing up some Eisbock's too. Todd and Gnome are gonna kill it.

Beer List for Grand Opening:
1) Kaylan's Kolsch (5% ABV)
2) Hefeweizen (5% ABV)
3) Mudslinger "Chocolate Milk Stout" (10.25% ABV)
4) Gum Job (10.75% ABV)

11) Watermelon Hefeweizen (5% ABV)
12) Grape Hefeweizen (5% ABV)
13) Tangerine WIT (5% ABV)

 

Tried a lot of these on Friday night at the grand opening. I loved everything except for the Tangerine Wit.

Big Toad's was fantastic. Tasted similar to DRIPA, except with a slight pineapple linger. My only gripe is the growler price. Seemed a bit pricey for a double IPA, but I know it's still new and everything.

I also wanted to state that I appreciated the free pizza that they got for everyone. It definitely hit the spot after trying all those heavy beers. I had a great time overall and it seems like they have a great thing going on.

 

Loved all their stouts, DIPA, Gum Job, and session IPA. The kolsch was really nice, too. Sounds like they've got some other cool beers in their pipeline. Pretty excited they're open. Lansing is sorely in need of good beer.

 

I enjoyed everything and am happy to be mug #26... the adjunct stouts were the most notable for me followed by Big Toad's. Watermelon hefe was a little too jolly rancher for me.

 

Wished any if the stouts were available for growler. Maybe after the initial rush.
Feels like there is potential here.
