Bell's Brewery, Inc. is an American craft brewing company operating out of Comstock and Kalamazoo, Michigan. It consists of a brewpub and restaurant, the Bell's Eccentric Cafe, as well as the Bell's General Store, which sells Bell's clothing and merchandise, beer to go (including active beers, seasonal beers, Kalamazoo store exclusive beers, as well as a Growler/Crowler bar), and homebrew kits at its Kalamazoo location (355 East Kalamazoo Avenue).
Bell's was initially a homebrewing store in 1983, and began producing beer in 1985. It is the oldest existing craft brewery in Michigan and is the oldest craft brewery east of Colorado in the United States. In 2021, it was the 6th largest craft brewery in the United States, and was the largest independently owned brewery in Michigan.
Founder Larry James Bell sold the company to the subsidiary of the Japanese Kirin beverage group Lion (an Australian producer of alcoholic beverages) at the end of 2021. The company had also owned Upper Hand Brewery, a separately operated division in Escanaba, Michigan, which was sold to California-based Seven Beverages, Inc. in 2024.
