Bell's Brewery
Kalamazoo, MI

Bell's Brewery in Kalamazoo is a micro-brewery. They offer a wide selection of tasty beers and tend to promote seasonal recipes, as do a lot of micro-breweries.

My personal favorite is Bell's Amber. It's rich in color and flavour, a bit lighter than Guinness but heavier than Harp lager. It has a smooth caramel finish and is priced to fit a middle class budget.

This melodic flavour also has a bit higher alcohol content, to lube up a social function with less empty bottles to clean up at the end of the evening.

Bell's Brewery also has a beautiful beer garden attatched to the aesthetically pleasing pub.

It is home to many of Kalamazoo's college-age hippie-types, which adds to the whole exuberance of the Bell's experience.

I highly recommend any of Bell's brews for your next take home six pack or pint at the pub. Bell's Oberon is another worthy brew which is geared toward the summer palate, but overall, Bell's Amber packs the most punch in the flavour department.

I just made myself thirsty for a Bell's Amber, so I'm off to order one right now.
