Dashed hopes

Bells

“$5.2 million expansion moves ahead at Bell’s Brewery in Comstock Township,” says the headline. Click! The useless details:

The brewery plans to add 15,000 square feet of office space onto its 60,000-square-foot production operation at 8938 Krum Ave.

Office space? That doesn’t help me. We need brewing capacity. I don’t care about your small cubicles, Bell’s, I just want to drink your beer!

Above: The beer garden at Bell’s Eccentric Cafe in Kalamazoo, MI, where you can get all the brewery’s excellent beers, enjoy a burger, sit outside and maybe enjoy some live music in the great Michigan summer weather. Worth a detour if you’re in the area.

We’re heading to Kalamazoo for a pub crawl this weekend, stopping at Bilbo’s, Bell’s (Celtic band this weekend!), and Olde Peninsula. Great plug!

Very nice! I haven’t been to the other places. I was just passing through lower Michigan this summer on the way from the UP to Chicago and couldn’t miss the opportunity to visit Bell’s.
