“Happy Oberon Day, ya’ll! It’s time to #ReachForTheSun and pickup sunshine in a glass. Cheers, friends!” Bell’s Brewery said in a tweet.
A number of places in Michigan will be hosting launch parties today, including Bell’s Brewery which has a camping themed celebration which will be free and open to the public from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. – featuring live music, yard games, and other special festivities.
“Oberon is a wheat ale that embodies everything we love about summer. Brewed with just wheat malt, hops, water and our signature house ale yeast, Oberon has a bright orange color and is citrusy, smooth and refreshing,” Bell’s Brewery described.
The brewery will also offer a number of other variations on the classic Oberon beer such as: Blood Orange, Chipotle Lime, Creamsicle, Fruit Punch, Peach, Pineapple Jalapeno, Raspberry Hibiscus, and Watermelon Basil Oberon.
The beverage will also be making its return across the U.S. in twelve states and D.C. including several Midwestern states such as Illinois, Minnesota, and Ohio; the South in Tennessee, and Virginia; and as far West as Colorado. While Michigan only serves this beer from March till September, Florida and Arizona provide it year round according to the Detroit Free Press.

Today is also understood to be the beginning of spring, as places across Michigan will welcome warmer weather today, and temperatures surpassing the 50s and 60s later this week.
Much like the expanded Bell’s Two Hearted brand earlier this year, Oberon is expected to release a variety pack this summer adding to the existing flavors, but will add a Citrus Oberon.
