Beer City USA

One thing is for sure in Grand Rapids, there is no shortage of breweries that make some of the best craft beers in the entire country, hence the name "Beer City USA."

Another great thing about Beer City USA is there are plenty of beer options to choose from. Almost every week there is a new beer coming out for beer lovers to try.

Many breweries offer seasonal beer options or make special brews around a holiday or have been clever enough to create a great beer that is so good it creates its very own holiday like Bells Beer has done with Oberon Day which was recently celebrated in March.

Bell's New Lager and Its Ties to Protecting The Great Lakes

Bell's Brewery has been one of the most successful craft breweries in the business. With success, Bell's likes to give back to the community that helped put their beers on the map, not just in Michigan, but around the country.

Larry Bell the founder and creator of Bell's Brewery has since sold the company but Bell's still continues following the road map created by its founder. Even since Larry retired he is still giving back to causes all around the state.

Bell's Brewery is continuing Larry Bell's art of giving back by creating "Lager for the Lakes."

According to FOX 17, Bell's Brewery is donating $25,000 to the Alliance for the Great Lakes which is a nonprofit group that helps protect the fresh, clean, and natural waters of the Great Lakes.
