    It would be impossible for this beer to live up to the hype unless drinking it instantly induced a toe-curling orgasm (it did not). That being said, I thought it was excellent, and I hope that it will eventually be available near where I live.

    When you're on your deathbed, you won't be wishing that you'd spent more time at the office.  But you will be wishing that you'd spent more time running.  Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

      Alright Globbie, you've convinced me.  I have seen these at Wegmans but have refrained because they are pricey and I am cheap.  Next time I will pick up a six pack.

        If you don't like it, blame zoomie, not me.  She's the one who chirps about it the most, followed by Trent (who can always be blamed.)

          It's beer so I am not overly concerned about liking it.

            Good point.  Too much thinking and not enough drinking on my part.

                Sounds like your method of "drinking beer" differs somewhat from mine...

                      Well, you snooze, you lose.  I went to Wegmans last week and they were out of Oberon.  They had some other Bells stuff, Pale Ale, and I think Kalamazoo Stout, but I didn't buy them.  Zoomie, are these worth trying?

                        Picked up some tonight.  Will try it over the weekend and report back.

                         

                        Hopefully it will live up to the hype.

                          Had me one last night.  Was just what the doctor ordered.  And it was after a steamy warm early Summer 7.3 miler with the dog.

                            I was supposed to have one after tonite's bike ride, but the bar was out...WTF?!  I had a Point Pale Ale...yeah, it wasn't much better than their regular brew, but I was curious, since I haven't seen any Point brews on tap in MI.

                              My local Meijer started stocking Oberon this year. They don't carry any other Bell's but the price was about $8 which was nice. Should help keep the liquor stores honest. I swear they were selling 6-packs for $11 last year.

                                It's $10 here.  I had one tonight.  Not orgasmic, but very good.
