October 17th 2024 Ford International Airport to Open Bell’s Brewery Location

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., October 17, 2024 - The Gerald R. Ford International Airport, in partnership with HMSHost, is set to open a Bell's Brewery location on Concourse B this winter.

"Since opening in 1985, Bell's Brewery has been a beloved staple in our community," said Gerald R. Ford International Airport Authority President and CEO Tory Richardson. "With an average of 10,000 passengers coming through our terminal daily-some of whom are first-time visitors to West Michigan-we are excited to showcase the vibrant local flavors of our region and hope all our travelers can enjoy the diverse options available to them."

Restaurateur HMSHost, part of leading global travel experience player Avolta, operates more than 1,000 dining venues across North America, including partnerships with local businesses and brands to elevate travel venues and introduce regional culinary expertise to a global audience. The Bell's Brewery location will feature classic favorites such as Oberon Ale and Two Hearted IPA, along with seasonal offerings and a menu of small bites and snacks.

"We are proud to partner with Ford International Airport and Bell's Brewery to expand the concessions program and to bring a taste of place to the concourse through a dining venue inspired by a beloved, locally born brand," said HMSHost Vice President of Business Development Bryan Loden. "Bell's Tap and Table will make a traveler's journey through the airport all the more exciting by offering great beer, delicious food and excellent hospitality."

"Bell's is proud of our Michigan-based roots and we've loved being able to bring exceptional craft beer to our communities for nearly four decades. Through this partnership, Michiganders on the west side of the state can now experience Bell's at new occasions," said Bell's Executive Vice President Carrie Yunker.

Ford International Airport and HMSHost continue to offer a variety of restaurants, shops and amenities, including Founders, Firehouse Subs, INK by Hudson, Starbucks and more. For more information about the amenities offered at the Ford International Airport, visit FlyFord.org/amenities.
