Bell's Brewery, Craft brewery in Kalamazoo and Comstock, Michigan, US.
Bell's Brewery is a beer producer with a production facility in Comstock and a brewpub located in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan. The operation includes a merchandise store where customers can purchase beers and related items directly from the source.
The business started in 1983 as a homebrew supply shop before shifting to commercial beer production in 1985. This transition from a hobby-focused retailer to an active producer marked the beginning of its lasting presence in Michigan.
The brewery has become woven into the fabric of local life and plays a meaningful role in Kalamazoo's cultural landscape. The annual Eccentric Day event demonstrates how it has fostered a gathering place where beer enthusiasts from the region come together to celebrate.
Visitors can stop by the Kalamazoo location to purchase beer and explore the brewpub, while the production facility in Comstock focuses on manufacturing. Checking hours and accessibility ahead of time helps ensure a smooth visit to either location.
It became the first brewery in Michigan to open an onsite pub in 1993, which prompted conversations about direct beer sales in taprooms. This pioneering move eventually led to changes in state law that made such sales possible.
