The Bell's Eccentric Cafe Tap List... Mmmm...
When you're in Michigan on a beer tour, you really can't ignore the elder stateman, or giant Gorrilla depending on how you look at it, presiding over the room... Thus, we found ourselves at Bell's Brewing Company and the Eccentric Cafe. Making beers ranging from their seemingly ubiquitous summer wheat ale, Oberon, to the frighteningly dark and think Expedition Stout, we knew these guys were going to be an interesting crew. This isn't even mentioning the citrusy IPA we've only had via trips to Pennsylvania known as Two Hearted Ale, one of the best IPAs out there! There was never a doubt we'd stop at Bell's, even if it was just for a beer. We also wanted to talk about the whole Bell's and Chicago situation that was going on (and has developed quite a bit since) at the time. We made our way in, grabbed seats at the bar and ordered a beer while waiting. Soon, John Mallett, the Bell's production Manager, and Rick, who runs the 1st shift in the brew house and was just getting off work, joined us and this is where we come in.

ImageFounders Brewing has been open for just over 10 years now and in that time they’ve garnered national acclaim for many of their beers. The Kentucky Breakfast stout has an almost cult following selling out before it even hits the stores in many cases. Our trip out to the Midwest certainly wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the brewery. We stopped by a day before our interview with Dave Engbers just to relax and try some of the beers only on tap at the pub. Our bartender, Melissa, was great and let us sample a variety of their tap offerings. For those of us not fortunate enough to live near Grand Rapids, Michigan, let's just says we’re missing out. We found a Frangelic Stout, a rich stout with hazelnut tones that was incredible, along with one of the best porters we’ve ever had. We returned the next day eager to ask about some of these offerings and if we’d see them in a bottle. It’s here where we meet up with one of the owners of Founders Brewing Company, Dave Engbers.
