Verdict: This is the thriving exception mentioned above; Two Hearted sales grew more than 10 percent last year as Bell’s continued to grow its distribution footprint. Two Hearted has also enjoyed a bit of good fortune; it wasn’t always the flagship — in the early days, that was Bell’s Amber (also still a classic, by the way) — but modern tastes have evolved toward hops, and Bell’s happened to have this expert IPA in its portfolio. Little wonder that Two Hearted has been named the best beer in America two years running.
