USA. Avolta company HMSHost is set launch a new food & beverage venue, Bell’s Tap and Table, at Grand Rapids Gerald R. Ford International Airport on Concourse B before the end of 2024. The venture is a partnership with local brand Bell’s Brewery, which operates a brewery and café in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
The location will feature popular beers from the brewery such as Oberon Ale and Two Hearted IPA, along with seasonal offerings and a food menu of small bites and snacks.
HMSHost Vice President of Business Development Bryan Loden said: “We are proud to partner with Ford International Airport and Bell’s Brewery to expand the concessions programme and to bring a taste of place to the concourse through a dining venue inspired by a beloved, locally born brand.
“Bell’s Tap and Table will make a traveller’s journey through the airport all the more exciting by offering great beer, delicious food and excellent hospitality.”
Bell’s Brewery Executive Vice President Carrie Yunker commented: “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.”
Gerald R. Ford International Airport Authority President and CEO Tory Richardson said: “Since opening in 1985, Bell’s Brewery has been a beloved staple in our community. With an average of 10,000 passengers coming through our terminal daily we are excited to showcase the vibrant local flavours of our region.”
HMSHost’s other food & beverage venues and stores at Gerald R. Ford International Airport include Founders, Firehouse Subs, INK by Hudson and Starbucks.
