    The secret to Bell's General Store is the exclusives. You can't even get them in the Tap Room (right next door). So if you love beer, especially one offs, do yourself a favor and stop in here. They are actually easy to tell which are which because they are labelled with a simple brown label, at the bottom it say Exclusive. We picked up the three they had this trip to bring home with us. My girlfriends and family have discovered to "just pick up one for Mari" when they are going because it is rare they will return, a girlfriend "got in big trouble" for not doing that over the summer and it was one I REALLY wanted. LOL. Also, talk with the staff, they are super helpful and for the most part know the details on if a beer is going to be distributed or if it's strictly for Michigan/Kalamazoo area. At the store you can also buy beer making supplies, clothes, glassware.... you name it. Normally you can fill growlers there too but COVID has that part closed for now. CHEERS!

    After dinner in the Eccentric Cafe, I stopped in to the General Store to check it out. It's completely cute and has a great selection of Bell's merchandise including tshirts, hats, glassware and for me, a neat fridge magnet. They also sell hops and beer additives (cocoa nibs, for example) plus other stuff for the beer enthusiast that is preparing at home. Prices looked good and there are some things on sale. If you're a Bell's drinker or looking for a gift for one, this is the spot. They will validate parking for their lot if you make a purchase. [Review 11254 overall, 1030 of 2019.]

    Just when I thought I couldn't love this place more, they added a vault section to their beer cooler, including beers from as far back as the '90s. It debuted this week and is definitely worth checking out. When I was there on Friday they had verticals of Third Coast, Expedition Stout, and Eccentric Ale. You can now also order online for in-store pickup, and when they do major releases, they even set up a tent outside for pickup to make social distancing extra easy for customers. Plus, if you are shopping for Bell's merch for the beer lover on your Christmas list, there's a cornucopia here. Everything from Christmas ornaments in the winter time to Oberon themed Adriondack chairs and yeti coolers in the summer. Their Bell's clothing is also top notch. We wear ours all the time and they've stayed in extremely good shape through many washings and dryings.

    Great store for Beer Brewer! The store has everything you need for crafting best beer. Store Clark work sift irregularly, you might call before you visit to find out when to talk with beer expert. They can help you to start brewing from scratch or making high gravity beer! Very good price compare to buy on other web store. Yes, a lots of Bell's beer and Bell's items too.

    I might come back to Michigan once a year to see my friends but I am always most excited for Bell's Oberon and Amber...

    I ordered some items from them in March 2025 for a fundraiser for the loss of a friend. I received…read moremy shirts but I also ordered 2 water bottles and never received them. I reached out through email a few times and never got a response back. I appreciate them doing the fundraiser for us and the quality of the shirts is good, but... customer service is apparently non existent and now Google shows them as permanently closed. Not surprised.

    5 stars for beer selection. 5 stars for hours since they…read moretold me that they were open to 2am on the Saturday that I stopped in. 5 stars for friendly service. I am from the Chicago area and I thought prices were a little expensive so I probably wouldn't shop here for a party (despite the name) but it is a cool little place for personal consumption. I liked and think it is worth checking out Drake "Intimate" Party Centre!

    This is the PARTY place to get all your libation needs and a must stop if you are from out of town…read more The have Beer Advocate points posted by beers that have scored close to 100, so do give those a try if you haven't already or need to stock up. There are always a ton of Michigan beers, ciders, meads, wines, and even some much saught after spirts too. Almost all of the beers are sold as singles so if you are looking to try everything, much like I do, you will not be disappointed. Also, of you are into 40 oz. beers expect a wide variety that you don't see in very may other states and counties. Grab Mickey's Ice or Olde English Black Label for old times. If you are looking to splurge they do have two huge walls lined with Cognacs, tequilas, rums, Scotches, and Bourbons that can set you back $40 to $400 a bottle. Too bad the new owner got rid of the "Wall-O-Shame," where local thieves and people with fame IDs had their pictures up with funny commentary.
