Now available
Both Bell’s Christmas Ale and Winter White Ale have shipped from the brewery.

The basic inspiration for Christmas Ale was to create a sessionable holiday beer, using locally grown malt, which would stand apart from the array of spiced winter warmers that are typically introduced this time of year. In contrast to many other seasonals, all of the dry, toasted notes & subtle toffee flavors come from the 100% Michigan-grown barley from our farm, while a blend of hops from Michigan & the Pacific Northwest lend earthy, herbal aromas. At 5.5% ABV, Christmas Ale stands as a smooth, highly drinkable beer intended to complement holiday menus, not overshadow them.

Bell’s Winter White Ale also offers a lighter yet abundantly flavorful alternative to heavy winter warmers. Fermented with a Belgian ale yeast, this blend of barley & wheat malts yields a mixture of clove and fruity aromas, all without the use of any spices. Winter White is a beer for embracing winter.
