No, but I have tried Bell's Oberon! I no longer ask what people think about specific types of shoes. Too many variables. What might be right for person A may suck for person B. Now, I did once ask about if a certain lightweight racing shoe would be suitable for a marathon. I haven't bought two of the same shoes in the past 6 or 7 shoes.

Asics has an oberon?! Black eye

It can't be as good as this:

Well whaddya know...they DO have a shoe called Oberon. How cool is that?! I should get a pair just to wear while drinking--you know, when I'm being a competitive drinker, and all... Wink

Why did I know you'd chime in? I'm heading to NY to see a buddy and he wanted some of this. I told him, don't think it's out yet. Not in PA anyway. So, he'll have to settle for Bell's Brown & Two Hearted. mmmm Two Hearted! mmmm beer!

Nope, I think we have about a month to wait for Oberon. I don't care what the calendar says, it's not Spring until I see that festive label at the store. Smile

It's about all I drink when it's available. Made just down the road from me in Kalamazoo, MI. Smile

This is good beer, too: Founders Dirty Bastard

Founders flagship beer. Dirty Bastard is an absolute beautiful beer to behold. Dark ruby in color and brewed with ten varieties of imported malts this beer continuously lives up to its reputation as a bold and powerful ale.

This beer �ain�t fer the wee lads� Specs: 8.5% ABV 50 IBU�s Color: Dark ruby Unfiltered Cellar: 1 year Availability: Year round Serving temperature: 42 f Glassware: English pint

If you like Caskazilla and Arrogant Bastard, you'll love Hop Rod Rye! One of my favorites.

I have no idea how to do images. Hopefully that works Smile

Also, since it's spring, it's time for Aprihop! Best beer ever. Aprihop: Release Date: March 1st each year Brewed with luscious apricots, finished with whole-leaf hops. A "fruit beer for hop heads..." Ale Street News 7% abv 55 ibu
