Bell’s Brewery has built a new brewhouse focused on increasing capacity and sustainability and showcased the place last week in a variety of events.

“It’s more like a museum than a brewery,” said Eric Strader, eTruth.com’s beer blogger, as we walked in on Wednesday.

The brewery added a 200-barrel system that allows it to make at least 500,000 barrels annually and even up to 800,000 with a few modifications, according to Laura Bell, director of marketing and daughter of founder Larry Bell.

Larry started selling beer in 1985 after brewing in a 15-gallon soup kettle. He made 135 barrels in 1986. (A barrel is 31 gallons.) The company shipped 180,000 barrels last year and has 173 employees.

The new addition used local wood, added a huge geothermal system and is simply gorgeous.

The brewing facility in Comstock, Mich., will host tours at some point, Laura said. Until then, you can still visit Eccentric Cafe, the original location, in downtown Kalamazoo, where food is served and live music of often playing.
