Larry Bell, craft beer pioneer who founded Bell’s Brewery in 1985, is set to convert a warehouse he currently owns in Kalamazoo, Michigan to become a display hall for his collection of brewery industry memorabilia.
Bell, who sold his brewery last December to Australian brewing conglomerate Lion Little World Beverages, has also just recently purchased a 46,000 square foot building in Kalamazoo which he intends to house the more than 40,000 books he acquired from the collection of historian Larry Massie and a vast collection of jazz artifacts.
Bell had previously planned on constructing a new building to house all the projects, but when a 26,000-square-foot building became available near downtown Kalamazoo, Bell decided to purchase the building.
