The New Brewery from Bell’s Breaks Ground

Upper Hand Brewery – a division of Bell’s Brewery, Inc. -has officially broken ground in Escanaba, Michigan.

The new brewery build will cost an estimated $1.3 million. Iron Mountain based Gundlach Champion, Inc. has been selected to build the 11,500 square foot facility.

“The Upper Peninsula has always had a special place in my heart.  And Escanaba has all the resources anyone opening a business would want to have.  We look forward to being a part of the Escanaba and Delta County business community” said Larry Bell, president and founder of Bell’s.

Upper Hand will initially hire five full time employees. The beer will be distributed across Michigan’s upper peninsula, and a few Northern states. The brewery should be operational in late 2014.

Bell’s Best Brown: Labor Day & New Art

Bell’s Best Brown Ale will arrive after Labor Day this year. For 2013, the iconic fall offering has received a little artwork tweak. Brown will be available in 12oz bottles, and draft, and mini kegs.

A smooth, toasty brown ale, Best Brown Ale is a mainstay in our fall & winter lineup. With hints of caramel and cocoa, the malt body has the depth to stand up to cool weather, but does not come across as heavy. This balancing act is aided by the generous use of American hops.

Style: Brown Ale

5.8% ABV
