Founded by Larry Bell in 1985 in Kalamazoo — one of America's original craft breweries. Two Hearted Ale has been voted America's best beer by the American Homebrewers Association multiple times. Oberon Ale is Michigan's unofficial seasonal beer — its release in spring is a state-wide event. Acquired by Lion Little World Beverages in 2021 but retaining full independence.

Across 4 beers in 4 style families, one trait still carries through — a broad range makes a shared signature harder to hold.
