Ellison Brewery and Spirits

Michigan


Ellison hides in a no-frills warehouse in an East Lansing industrial park. Bowl up to the corrugated metal bar and order a Tiramisu coffee stout, 3 Stacks boysenberry sour ale, Relativity double IPA or any of the other 14 beers on tap, fresh from the tanks behind the bartender. Lots of locals unwind over a pint here.

Prefer cocktails to beer? Ellison also makes whiskey, vodka, gin and rum on site, prime for a gimlet or Moscow Mule.
