Chandler, AZ (February 12, 2013/mbb/)—Bell’s Brewery has an annual tradition of hosting Eccentric Day at Bell’s Eccentric Café in Kalamazoo, MI. This fun, offbeat, crazy kind of party allows patrons and staff alike to dress up in outrageous costumes, eat food and drink a wide variety of Bell’s beer. There’s only one rule, come in a costume or don’t come at all. That tradition, now in its second year, is continued during Arizona Beer Week at The Hungry Monk in Chandler.
Last year, Eccentric Café was a huge hit during Arizona Beer Week and this year The Hungry Monk will do it all again on Friday, February 22 from 3pm- midnight while featuring more than 20 of Bell’s Brewery beers including special tappings of Black Note and Bourbon Barrel Cherry Stout.
Some of the other Bell’s Brewery beers featured at the Eccentric Café include Hopslam Ale, Le Batteur, Le Pianiste, Expedition Stout, Amber Ale, Kalamazoo Stout, Oatmeal Stout, Oberon Ale, Smitten Ale and many more. So, dig out your best costume and head down to The Hungry Monk on Friday, February 22 from 3 p.m.-midnight for this very special event.

Special Tapping Schedule is as follows:
Black Note (6:30 p.m.) - One of the most sought-after stouts in Bell’s history, Black Note Stout blends the complex aromatics of Expedition Stout with the velvety smooth texture of Double Cream Stout and ages the combination in freshly retired oak bourbon barrels for months. The resulting harmony of flavors captures the finest features of all three components: malty notes of dark chocolate, espresso & dried fruits, all buoyed by the warmth and fragrance of the bourbon barrel. Aimed squarely at the stout and bourbon aficionados, Black Note makes a grand statement about the art of the dark. 11.5% abv. 100% of the proceeds from Black Note will benefit the American Heart Association.
Bourbon Barrel Cherry Stout (7:30 p.m.) - Aged in freshly retired bourbon barrels for 6-8 months, this beer takes Bell’s Cherry Stout to a new level. Introducing the oaky, vanilla notes of bourbon to an already heady mix of tart cherries and dark, roasted malts, this stout seduces the palate. Bourbon Barrel Aged Cherry Stout has been made for draft on a handful of occasions over the years and bottled once. 11.0% abv.
