Q) What is your favorite way to prepare/use your product?
A) Cooking and beer go hand in hand. There are so many possibilities. Often, craft beer gets overlooked in that regard. Nothing could be further from the truth. But when it comes down to it, enjoying an Oberon on a warm summer day, or setting out an adventure with a Two Hearted, either by yourself or with friends and family… now that can be just as powerful and rewarding.
Q) Is this a family owned business?
A) Bell’s is 100% family-owned.
Q) What makes your product unique?
A) We are Michigan’s largest independent craft brewery. Bell’s is also Michigan’s oldest craft brewery. Our focus has always been to brew thoughtfully, artistically and creatively. You may know us because of Two Hearted and Oberon, but we brew an incredible line of award-winning beers. We host events at a beautiful, state of the art entertainment venue while continuing the charm and small atmosphere of the Eccentric Cafe. Sustainability is also incredibly important – beyond being green. We recognize our responsibility to take care of our surroundings as vital to our organization, our community and for generations to come.
Q) Why do you feel it is important that people support their community by shopping/buying local?
A) It’s important to give back and support those who have supported you. Bell’s has always been proud to support our community – from the arts (music, visual and performing) to local/state/regional organizations – giving back to the communities we sell our beer in is part of who we are. This extends to the communities we sell our beer in beyond Michigan as well.
Q) Is there anything you want customer to know about your company or your products?
A) Being independent and family-owned is incredibly important to us and how we operate; it helps give us the flexibility to innovate and experiment with new beers and recipes among other things. Our company is driven first by safety (always) then, and just as importantly, by quality. You can’t brew amazing beer without quality ingredients, people and process. Respect and responsibility round out our core values. Those values drive everything we do.
