This morning you get your first peek at some new packaging coming from Bell’s Brewery.  This is their Sparkleberry Belgian-sty;e tripel brewed with raspberries and while it will remain at 9%-AbV, for 2018 it will be packaged in 16oz canned 4-packs.  This beer will be packaged and released in June 2018 according to the Bell’s Brewery 2018 release calendar.Bell’s Sparkleberry Returns In 16oz Cans in June 2018

17 Jan 2018—This update from Bell’s Brewery:

Celebrating diversity has always been an integral part of Bell’s culture. This summer, 16 oz. cans of Sparkleberry® will join that celebration.

We are very proud to share a first look at the packaging of one of our newest additions to our 2018 release calendar, Sparkleberry® Ale.

A raspberry Belgian-style Tripel Ale, Sparkleberry® will debut in 4-packs, for the first time in June.

Slightly tart and effervescent, Sparkleberry® has a ruby red hue, an ABV of 9% and is brewed with raspberries. Cans and kegs will ship to all states we distribute to, but will be very limited.

“Our celebration of diversity is no secret, but this can says it front and center. No matter who you are or who you love, all are welcome at Bell’s,” said Laura Bell, CEO of Bell’s Brewery.

We want everyone to get their sparkle on and celebrate what makes us all unique and special. Beer has traditionally brought people together and we proudly continue and honor that tradition with this fun beer, she added.

Sparkleberry® was originally brewed to celebrate our presenting sponsorship of Kalamazoo Pride in 2013, the same year it won a Bronze Medal at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver.

Our partnership with Kalamazoo Pride, the largest fundraiser of the year for OutFront Kalamazoo, will continue through at least 2019.

Formerly the Kalamazoo Gay-Lesbian Resource Center, OutFront Kalamazoo continues to serve the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community of greater Kalamazoo and its friends and allies. Their events support efforts to create a just, inclusive, and supportive environment in Southwest Michigan for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities and expressions.

ABOUT BELL’S BREWERY, INC.

Bell’s Brewery began in 1985 with a quest for better beer and a 15 gallon soup kettle. Since then, we’ve grown into a regional craft brewery that employs more than 500 people over a 32 state area, in addition to Puerto Rico and Washington DC. The dedication to brewing flavorful, unfiltered, quality craft beers that started in 1985 is still with us today. We currently brew over 20 beers for distribution as well as many other small batch beers that are served at our pub in Kalamazoo, the Eccentric Café. Our ongoing goal is to brew thoughtfully, creatively and artistically. 100% family-owned and independent, we strive to bring an authentic and pleasant experience to all of our customers through our unique ales and lagers.
