From Bell’s:
We're honoring veterans, active service military members and their families with a special beer release on Veterans Day.
“Goin’ Dark” (6.3% ABV) is a Coffee Milk Stout brewed with bourbon barrel-aged coffee beans. The beer was conceived, written, brewed and packaged by a committee of more than 20 Bell’s employees who either served in the military, are currently enlisted or are military family members.
“Celebrating Diversity has always been core to our company,” said Larry Bell, founder and president of Bell’s Brewery. “It’s an honor to recognize the men and women in our military as well as their families and extend that celebration to those who make that sacrifice.”
BELL’S CELEBRATION SERIES
Goin’ Dark is the third release in the Bell's Celebration Series that highlights different groups within the company that make Bell’s Brewery what it is.
Earlier this year, our employees brewed Unite Hibiscus Saison as part of International Women's Collaboration Brew Day and Alliance Lemon Lager to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
More Celebration brews are being planned for 2020.
There will be a special beer release (Tappening) for Goin’ Dark at Bell’s Eccentric Café, 355 E. Kalamazoo Ave. in downtown Kalamazoo, at 4 p.m. on Nov. 11.
The beer will be available to enjoy on draft at the Café and to purchase in 12 oz bottles, packaged in 6-packs, exclusively from the Bell’s General Store. The group wanted to bottle the beer so it could be shared with family members when they return from deployment.
As part of the event, Bell’s is working with Section Collection, a local nonprofit that provides direct support to veterans in need. Section Collection will be at the Tappening event. Goin’ Dark merchandise will also be available to purchase at Bell’s General Store located adjacent to the Café.
Keep an eye out for a special announcement at the event related to veterans and hiring.
We hope to see you on Veterans Day at the Café!
Part of a series of beers that celebrates and recognizes groups within the Bell’s family that help make us who we are. Brewed by Bell’s employees with bourbon barrel-aged coffee beans, this stout is representative of the many night missions our veterans were a part of. It can be shared with a buddy who’s just returned, saved until they come home or raised in memory of those who can’t be here today.
This beer will be released at the Bell's General Store and on tap at the Eccentric Café on Nov. 11. RSVP on Facebook.
