Brutopia Beer Competitors

Lagunitas beers are available in 20-ish countries and growing. And whether supporting local communities by turning beer into money for the cause, or simply fueling stories and songs with IPA and other fine ales, we’ve learned one thing (aside from how to cook a turkey)…Wherever you go: beer speaks, people mumble.

Our journey began with a 15-gallon soup kettle, a quest for better beer, and countless batches of homebrew. The passion and personality that began Bell’s continue today through our breweries and Eccentric Café. We continue to grow and evolve, dedicated to our mission; to be deeply rooted in our community, committed to the environment, and brewers of Inspired Beer. While Bell’s remains independent in many ways, we joined forces with New Belgium Brewing in early 2022.
