Brewed with Love: Baby Arrives In Kalamazoo Brewery Parking Lot

The birth of a child can be an incredibly stressful but exciting experience. Usually, the to-be parents aim to have a plan to try to make the hectic day their baby chooses to arrive as manageable as possible.

However, couple Aaron and Kyle Baker in Vicksburg didn't plan to have their third child like this: in the parking lot of One Well Brewing in Kalamazoo. They may need to start advertising delivery services.

Traditionally, you have to be 21 or older to get yourself into a bar, but this baby had other plans after it decided it was done brewing and was ready to be tapped before the Bakers could make it to the hospital. So, they pulled into the parking lot of their favorite brewery, One Well Brewing, and delivered the baby then and there.

On One Well Brewery's website, they claim to be "all-ages and family-friendly", offering a place for people to "choose their own adventure". They certainly lived up to that claim by helping the Bakers while ambulances were on the way, inevitably welcoming their first son whom they named Forrest.

To top off the entire affair, the Bakers decided to make Forrest's middle name "Wells" as a nod to the place where his rather unconventional birth took place. Baby and family eventually made it to the hospital without any hiccups.
