KALAMAZOO, MI -- In “celebration” of Valentine’s Day this year, Bell’s Brewery will release a new black India Pale Ale called Black Hearted.

Black Hearted will be available beginning at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 14, according to a social media post from Bell’s Eccentric Cafe.

“Love isn’t always handwritten notes and candy hearts,” the brewery said in the social media post. “Sometimes, it’s a sinkhole full of skeletons and worn out platitudes, yet here you stand with your chin held high. Our latest member of the Hearted family, a Black IPA, holds no ire toward love lost, it thrives on it.”

The new IPA is 7% Alcohol By Volume (ABV).

Black Hearted is part of the General Store Exclusive Series and will only be available for purchase on draft in the Eccentric Cafe and in 12 oz. bottles packaged in six packs at the General Store, the brewery said.

Another variation of the crowd favorite Two Hearted Ale, was released in Kalamazoo Wednesday, Jan. 15. The low-calorie beer, Light Hearted Ale, is described as “All malt, balanced, flavorful, hoppy and only 3.7% Alcohol By Volume (ABV).” It has 110 calories per 12 oz can, according to the Bell’s website.

Light Hearted is brewed with Centennial hops, just like the original Two Hearted. In addition, Light Hearted it is also brewed with Galaxy hops, Bell’s Brewery Spokesman Josh Smith said.

A full calendar of beer release dates is available online.
