  • $33 One-Year Membership to the AHA (reg. $38)
  • Meet Bell's brewer and founder, Larry Bell
  • Meet AHA Founder Charlie Papazian (one of my heroes)
  • VIP Brewery Tour
  • 11 beers will be on tap, including a SPECIAL RELEASE - wow!!!
  • Everyone gets a Bell's Brewery, Inc. pint glass filled with goodies and a 1oz sample of hop pelletes!

This is the first time anyone I've known has ever WANTED to go to Kalamazoo. I've spent a lifetime trying to get away from that place.

By the way, I remember when Bells was getting started and Larry Bell was trying to get local investors. Through friends, my parents had a chance to invest and passed it up. This was right around the time my dad decided not to invest in eBay and instead but shares of pets.com. Oh, man...

I've met Larry Bell down at the brewery. Nice guy. He holds a (not sure if he still does) BellsFest every year where you can camp out on his land, drink bells and listen to bands all day. I never went, but my college friends called it, "beerstock". Would have been fun...

Hey...do you think your dad can go and get me a glass and try that new release sample? Tell him I'll even send him the $33! Talk to him about it. Just think of all the yellow cards he can give out! I'll pay extra for a shot of Linda with Larry Bell and Charlie "the Man" Papazian!
