It’s that time of year again! Tickets are now available for our annual Wreath Making Workshops! 🎄

Join horticulturalist Carrie Paulus on either Monday November 30th or Tuesday December 1st for a festive 2½-hour hands-on workshop and create your own beautiful, fragrant holiday wreath using freshly harvested local evergreens, pinecones, branches, berries, ribbon and a custom ceramic ornament.

Your ticket includes all the materials and hands-on instruction needed to make an 18-22” wreath, plus dinner and dessert. A cash bar will also be available with the full Bell Tower draft list, a themed cocktail menu, w**e and non-alcoholic drinks.

There are two dates available this year so there are more chances to join the fun. Tickets are available now through the link in our story, and these workshops tend to sell out quickly, so grab yours while spots are available!

After celebrating Oktoberfest at Bell Tower, it only feels right to keep the party going! 🍻

Kent Oktoberfest is coming to Downtown Kent on Saturday, October 10th, and there’s a full day of German-inspired fun planned. Start the morning with The Wurst 5K or Brat Trot 1-Mile, an untimed fun run/walk where costumes are encouraged and every registration comes with a post-race brat and beverage. Bell Tower will be providing the brats!

Then head downtown for the Oktoberfest celebration featuring seasonal b**r from Bell Tower Brewing, North Water Brewing and Ohio Beverage Distributing, German-inspired food, live music and German dancing. Bell Tower will be pouring two b**rs from this year’s first local b**r truck and serving up brats and pretzels.

And of course, there’s the Steinholding Competition. Competitors will go head-to-head for a chance to show off their stein-holding skills, with competitions at 2:30 and 5:30pm. Participants get a 1L Kent Oktoberfest mug filled with b**r to enjoy and keep. Tickets for this are available in advance, so sign up through the link in the story!

The Bell Tower Oktoberfest was a blast, and now it’s time to do it all again downtown. See you at Kent Oktoberfest!

Fresh hop season is here, and 15 breweries are coming together to celebrate it! 🍻

Join Bell Tower and 14 more awesome Ohio breweries on Sunday, October 11th from 5-9pm at 8th Day Brewing Co. for the Fresh Hop Festival.

Fresh hop b**rs are made with Ohio-grown hops picked at peak freshness and added to the brew within hours of harvest. That gives these b**rs a bright, grassy and resinous character that you simply can’t get from hops that have been dried and stored. And because fresh hop season only happens once a year, these b**rs are here for a very limited time.

The festival will feature samples from 15 breweries, including Birdfish, 8th Day, Bell Tower, Modern Methods, Jolly Scholar, Broadview Brewing Company, HiHO, ElevenThree, Codex, Butcher and the Brewer, Pompatus, New Berlin, New Purpose, Hop Brothers and Immigrant Son.

A Barrio food truck will also be on site serving up food to go with all that fresh b**r.

This is a b**r event that can only come around once a year. And like the hops themselves,once these fresh hop b**rs are gone, they’re gone until the next harvest.

Tickets are available now through the link in our story. Grab yours before they sell out and come taste what Ohio’s fresh hop season is all about!

Ohio Pint Day is coming up! 🍻 Since Bell Tower will be closed on the actual Ohio Pint Day, the celebration is happening a day late on Wednesday, September 30th!

Grab this year’s Ohio Pint Day glass for just $5 when you purchase a b**r, or pick up the glass on its own for $8. And if you stop in during Happy Hour from 11am-4pm, you can enjoy $1 off pints while you’re here.

Missed out on getting your glass the day before? No worries. Come celebrate Ohio Pint Day a little late at Bell Tower and grab yours while they last!

Five years of Bell Tower calls for a pretty special dinner.

Join us on Tuesday, October 13th from 5-9pm for our Fall B**r Pairing Dinner, an evening built around everything that makes Bell Tower what it is: great b**r, scratch-made food and bringing people together around the table.

This five-course dinner plus dessert pairs each dish with a Bell Tower b**r, taking you through some of the best flavors of the season. Start with Apple Bruschetta paired with German Pilsner, then move into Sausage & Squash Arancini with our Fresh Hop IPA, a Fall Salad with Fresh Hop Saison, and Squash Gnocchi paired with Festbier. The evening finishes with Seared Duck over Braised Cabbage paired with Märzen, followed by Pumpkin Crème Brûlée with Chai Strong Ale.

Head Brewer Jennifer Hermann and Executive Chef Justin Ruffing will guide guests through the pairings and the stories behind the food and b**r. It gives guests a chance to experience Bell Tower through a full evening of seasonal food and b**r, as well as some good company.

Tickets are on sale now through the link in our story. Space is limited, so grab your tickets soon, especially if you’re planning to come with a larger group. Come have dinner with us and help celebrate five years of Bell Tower!

Summer is winding down, and that means it’s almost time to say goodbye to some of your favorite summer cocktails! 🍹

If you’ve been loving them all season, now’s the time to get one more in. And if you haven’t tried them yet, there’s still time to stop by and find a new favorite before they’re gone.

There’s so much history hiding in plain sight around Kent, and Ohio Open Doors is giving the community a chance to experience it!

Join Main Street Kent and the Kent Historical Society & Museum for a multi-day celebration of the historic buildings and stories that make Kent such a special place in honor of America’s 250th birthday. There are several free events and tours planned throughout the city, and Bell Tower is excited to be part of the Historic Landmark Building Tour on September 19th.

The mobile tour begins at 11am and will explore historic landmarks along River and Gougler, including the Carnegie Library, now the Kent Free Library, the former Congregational Church, now Bell Tower Brewing, Franklin Township Hall and the Unitarian Universalist Church.

It’s a pretty cool opportunity to see some of Kent’s history up close and learn more about the buildings that have helped shape the city.
