Overview
Bell’s began in 1985 with a quest for better beer and a 15-gallon soup kettle. Since then, we have grown into a regional craft brewery that distributes across a 43-state area (in addition to Puerto Rico and Washington DC). Our dedication to brewing flavorful, unfiltered, quality craft beer is still with us today. We currently brew over 20 beers for distribution at our nearby Comstock Brewery as well as many other small-batch beers in Kalamazoo right next door to our pub, the Eccentric Café. Our ongoing goal is to brew thoughtfully, creatively, and artistically.
