Bell's Eccentric Café and Brewery

Eccentric ahead of it's time-- especially for Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Bell's is the central coast mecca for beer nerds. Their most popular
brew, Oberon, an American wheat ale, marks the official start of
summer on the Central Coast. The orange sun/blue sky label is a common
sight through midwest summers, and a cult classic nation wide. Since
it's not distributed to the west coast, I feel the need to high five
the Bell's-hoodie-wearing-hippies at the Dead shows and other beer
nerd havens in the Bay Area. We also have a cat named Oberon.

We visited the Café on our way up to Rothbury. Lots of classics on
tap, including Oberon and Two-Hearted, but also some new ones like the
"experimental rye with wild yeast". An accident, probably, but
eccentric indeed.

For food, we got the peanut butter and pickle on grilled wheat, a
Tempeh sando, and a burger.
