About BELL’S BREWING

Brew a Better Future

How do you become the first Michigan brewery to open a pub and sell beer by the pint glass? Or grow distribution from one state to 50? Or double brewing facilities? Or become a destination that includes a tap room, concert venue, and one-of-a-kind beer garden? By using beer and business as tools to discover common ground, strengthen community bonds, and spark meaningful action for four decades—of course. At Bell's Brewery, we call it Inspired Brewing, and it’s what drives us to make thoughtfully and creatively brewed quality craft beers, all while building a better future together.
