If stouts are more your style, we have plenty of options. Cheers!

• Cherry Stout
• Expedition Stout 
• Arabicadabra Coffee Milk Stout

Pumpkins, candy and your favorite beer

We don't brew with them but we do know how to carve them. Get into the spirit of the season with Bell's beer themed stencils (Two Hearted, Oberon, Best Brown and 2 new designs for this year) are available to download here. To help satisfy your sweet tooth, check out our beer and candy pairing suggestions.

Hopslam season is here!

The return of our eagerly awaited Double IPA is here. Cans are being packaged and shipped as fresh as we can over the next few weeks. Remember, this beer is limited and best enjoyed as fresh as possible. Once it’s gone, it’s gone (until 2021). Grab it while you can!

EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK

JUST FOR YOU: What about mini-kegs? Yes, they are returning and… with a brand new look! For the first time ever, Hopslam mini-kegs will feature a unique design. Also limited, grab this collector’s item before it’s too late. Hopslam mini-kegs are being packaged now and will ship out as fast as possible.

Be sure to check out our video on how to properly tap and enjoy one of our mini-kegs. 

Hopslam is just the beginning of what we have in store for 2020. Keep an eye on our social media for peeks at what else is coming throughout January… here’s a special hint or two:

• Something "Double" is returning.
• A beer style we’ve been asked about constantly will be released, but with our own, Bell’s twist.

What do we have in store? Stay tuned!

NEW HOPSLAM MERCH: Stop by our General Store to see what’s new.

Let winter be bright

Looking for an alternative to stouts and other darker beer styles? Bright White is on store shelves, in coolers and on tap near you now. 

Our Belgian-inspired Wheat Ale has wonderful clove and fruit aromas and goes great with a variety of different foods. Perhaps you’ve heard of lawnmower beers? Well, here’s a beer for shoveling the driveway. 

Almost here

Speaking of new releases: the long awaited debut of our newest year-round offering, Light Hearted, is getting closer. Stay tuned.

New: Less calories, a lower ABV - all the heart

Our new, lo-cal IPA, Light Hearted Ale, is here!

“We wanted to brew the best tasting, low-cal IPA we could. It all begins with quality ingredients. Balance, hoppiness and aroma are all there,” said Larry Bell, Bell’s president and founder. 

“One thing we did not do, was take a shortcut; no corn and no rice. Our goal was to deliver the same quality you would expect from a Bell’s beer, but with a lower ABV and with less calories,” Bell added. 

Light Hearted is brewed with Centennial and Galaxy hops and comes in at only 110 calories, cutting down on the things many beer drinkers don’t want, but keeping everything about Two Hearted they love.

Read the full announcement here. 

Current seasonal: Bright White

Our Belgian-inspired Wheat Ale has wonderful clove and fruit aromas and goes great with a variety of different foods. Perhaps you’ve heard of lawnmower beers? Well, here’s a beer for shoveling the driveway. 

Send some beer love

E-versions of our beloved Beerentines are still available and limitless. You can send one of 23 different designs (a mix of familiar favorites along with some new designs for 2020) today, tomorrow or anytime up until and including Valentine’s Day. Send one, or a few, now.
