Bell’s will also introduce four new beers to their lineup, including the adoption of a new Hell Hath (No Fury) series, which will consist of three new beers centered around the style of a Belgian-inspired stout. Hell Hath No Fury is a Dark Ale that will be released between two new companion beers, Road to Hell releasing in July, then Sympathy for the Devil in November.
