Why Fans Keep This Place in the Mix

Bell's Brewery Eccentric Café in Kalamazoo is a source-backed fan-planning anchor connected to local events, city coverage, and nearby itinerary layers.

Bell's Brewery Eccentric Café is the legendary taproom of one of America's most celebrated craft breweries — a Kalamazoo institution where Two Hearted Ale (frequently voted America's best beer) flows from the source while Western Michigan Broncos fans and visiting music fans mix in the expansive beer garden. The outdoor amphitheatre hosts regular live music events that make Bell's as much a music venue as a brewery, and the barrel-aging and pilot batch beers available only at the Eccentric Café make it a genuine fan pilgrimage for beer lovers. Arriving here is a bucket-list moment for craft beer fans.
