Since its inception in 1983 as the Kalamazoo Brewing Company, a then home-brew supply store, Bell’s Brewery has become synonymous with American craft beer. They’ve set the bar for innovation by making beers like Oberon in 1992 and Two Hearted Ale in 1997. Today, Bell’s is the 7th largest craft brewer by the Brewer’s Association standards, producing over 400,000 barrels of beer in 2016.
And lucky for us Chicagoans, the brewery is only a two-and-a-half-hour drive (or train ride) from the Loop. We went up to Kalamazoo for the day and sat down with newly appointed Bell’s CEO, Laura Bell, to hear why she loves calling West Michigan home.
We had an amazing time at the Bell’s Oatsmobile launch party at Logan Square Auto Repair last week and it looks like you guys did too! Miss the party? Don’t worry, there will be others. Until then, relive the party through photos by Britography. A big thank you to Cody from Cage & Aquarium for the killer tunes and Inspired Catering for the delicious grub.
