America's Top 10 Craft Breweries

Bell's Brewing Inc, which started in 1985 with nothing more than a 15 gallon soup kettle, is now a regional craft brewery employing more than 165 people and brewing over 20 beers for distribution. Despite its large size, it is still possible to get a taste of the small-batch, only-served-here beers that imbibing geeks travel miles for at the brewery's Eccentric Cafe in Kalamazoo, MI (the website's 'Tap Cam' shows you what's available on any given day). Bell's also has its own General Store, which offers homebrewing advice and stocks everything from malt & fermentables to a two-tap refrigerator conversion kit. (bellsbeer.com)
