South / South east Michigan

Post by RayOhm »

Where taking a trip to Cedar point in a week, on the way back where driving through south east Michigan. Mainly for the goal of finding some Bells. Any hints/help on the better bottle shops in the area. Again, primarily looking for Bells.
I don’t care what the U.N. says, I don’t recognize countries that don’t produce beer.

If you're heading close to Detroit then Merchant's Fine Wine in Dearborn is an excellent place. A little north of Detroit is Champane's Wine Cellars. Also if you are heading in that area, Adventures in Homebrewing is within 10 minutes of Merchant's. I've only been to each store once, but there was a tonne of Bell's at both places.

This is more for the Detroit area, but it looks like Toledo has a few beer stores.

If you mainly want Bells then check out any Meijer or Kroeger food stores, they are the big chains. Here is what I found:

Stone
Bell's
Atwater
Shorts
Michigan Brewing Company
Great Lakes
Founders
Leinenkugel
Flying Dog
Magic Hat
One from Rochester NY maybe Rochefort?

Many different varieties and many 12 bottle samplers. Never saw this before, usually had to go to a specialty store.
