Celebrate 40 Years Of Bell’s Brewery With Great Beer And Fun

When Larry Bell first began his journey into beer-making, few could have imagined that in time, Bell’s Beer would be one of the most popular Michigan brands.

40 years later, Bell's Brewery is celebrating its 40th anniversary party and beer garden show at Bell's Eccentric Café in downtown Kalamazoo.

For over the years, Bell’s Brewery has delivered thousands of different kinds of beer, and they’re putting together something special to celebrate the 40th anniversary on Sunday from 11 AM until 10 PM on September 21.

They’re going to be releasing a 40th anniversary BBA Expedition Stout as well as a special release of Bell's Beer with throwback beers on tap.

They’re also gonna be doing a throwback food menu, which will include the black bean wrap, buffalo chicken dip, and the ECGC. They’re going to be offering free tours of their downtown brewery with a special vintage pint and poster giveaway, and even blowing out the candles on a Bell‘s birthday cake.

For people who are fans of vintage bruise, they will be having tastings of black note and third coast old ale at 1 PM and 4 PM in the general store.

Fittingly enough, the 1985 will be performing in the beer garden at 7 PM, which is ironically the same year that Bell’s beer was launched.

The best part about it is that it’s going to be a free, all-ages, public event, and the only thing that will need to be purchased is tickets to the show in the beer garden.

The show is 17 (with an adult) and up. Out of all of the beers that Bell's has ever released, which is your favorite, and which ones would you like to see come back?
