Bells Brewery, Inc. is a multiple-site production operation located in Kalamazoo, MI. It brews more than 20 beers for distribution across a 19-state area, Puerto Rico and Washington, DC. “We have grown rapidly and continue to grow,” says Jeff Carter, Bells Brewery facilities and utilities manager.
The original Bells Brewery production facility is located in Kalamazoo, MI where founder Larry Bell launched his business in 1985. The Kalamazoo facility is still in operation, but to meet demand, the brewery built another facility in 2003 in Comstock, MI. This facility has undergone five major additions and encompasses over 100,000 square feet of building space on a 32-acre site. Its most recent construction and expansion project, a 200-barrel brew house, includes fourteen 400-barrel fermentation tanks and new grain handling facilities.
