‘Special Delivery': Kalamazoo Brewery’s New Beer Honors Baby Born on Site

Sometimes a birth is meticulously planned, but other times the baby has different plans.

One Well Brewing suddenly found itself dealing with a kind of delivery it wasn't used to, but the birth was a success and they even named their son after the brewery (Forrest Wells Baker). Now the brewery is returning the favor by naming a special brew in his honor.

The Brew, fittingly titled Special Delivery, is a Blood Orange Blonde 5.5% ABV that "fate brewed". The Baker family was on site on Friday to take a toast with customers who were there to celebrate the brew and baby Forrest's safe and unique entry into the world.

The entire saga of One Well Brewing and the Baker family has received media from FOX17 and MLive. One Well Brewing offers food & drinks, dartboards, duckpin bowling, and loads of pinball machines. They're located in Kalamazoo at
