Bell’s Brewery No, Yeah Becoming The Latest Year-Round Release

I brought you a peek back in May 2020, and now this update from Bell’s:

COMSTOCK, MI . – Bell’s Brewery would like to (politely) introduce you to its newest release.

No, Yeah, the latest year-round release from the Michigan’s largest and oldest independent craft brewery will start shipping next week to its home state, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Minnesota.

An easy-drinking Golden Ale with an ABV of 4.5%, No, Yeah is bright and fun inside and out. This lighter craft beer option is crisp and dry with a slightly sweet flavor profile. It is balanced, not overly bitter and will resonate with fans of lagers and those just looking for a really nice beer.

“We saw an opportunity with our core offerings, part of a growing market, but also a niche that’s near and dear to us as proud Midwesterners,” Larry Bell, president and founder said.

This beer will appeal to those who are looking for another alternative to higher ABV beers, something that is crisp and refreshing and not too hoppy,” he added.

Both the name and packaging both play into Midwest politeness and memes that share in that culture. Phrases like "ope", " ‘scuse me" and "let me sneak past ya" are all part of the fun of this new Bell’s offering.

No, Yeah is the perfect easy drinking Golden Ale for all things Midwest. It begins shipping the week of Jan. 18. No, Yeah will be available to purchase at the Bell’s General Store and Eccentric Café in downtown Kalamazoo on Jan. 18.
