Bell’s Brewing and Eccentric Cafe (2025)

If you still have cans left, try pouring half the can w/o disturbing sediment... and then after drinking that (or in another glass) pour the remainder of the can with all of the sediment.

Wondering if you'll find that both pours have that same "sharpness" you've noted.

 

It would be interesting, but what does that say about the new brew since I never decanted that way in the past.

And my first few (delightful) Oberon experiences were from draft -- way back when.

 

Gave this experiment a test and yeah -- the careful pour, sans sediment (what there is in Oberon) tasted smoother, softer, and more like past Oberon I've enjoyed.

The final pour was more sharp, drier, and less bready than the careful pour.

But to me, this just begs the question "Why?" I've never decanted Oberon without pouring the whole container into my glass and always appreciated it each spring. What's changed?

 

We are now living in more challenging times.
(Heck - At least you might get more enjoyment in this one little way moving forward now )

 

Or, it may just make me avoid Oberon from now on. Sorry New Bell's.

 

Straight into my veins. NOW!!

 

12 oz bottle label. C'mon Bell's, please distribute this one. We like to celebrate anniversaries too.

 

I was at the cafe for lunch

had a pineapple ipa and bought a 6 pack of it and a bba kalamazoo stout

 

Bastard

So is this just a basic BBA Expy? Makes no sense and kinda wack if it is for a 40th fucking anniversay.

2 years bba? DB? Rye!?

 

I finally had a regular Oberon today, and it was the regular taste experience that I'm used to. I had it on tap at the Eccentric Café, so it should be very fresh. It had the same amount of haziness as always, and no sediment at the end. It almost seemed mellow.

 

I have Oberon PTSD from the cans. Probably not going to go near one again.

 

It’s a blend of 2 & 3 year aged BA Expedition. Bottles are MI distro only, draft will see wider distro

 

source?

 

An employee

 

You're my danged hero
.

I trade regularly with an AWESOME BA on here and was lucky enough to get BBA 35th Anniversary..
I know this one w is gonna be Satan Tier!

 

Any clue when this could drop so I can plan a trip? Can't remember what time of year 30th and 35th anny stouts released.

 

I believe their anniversary is in September. Saw one old video with Larry - maybe 19 Sep? Looks like 35th anniversary beer was packaged on 09/03/20 so seems to align. This is assuming they release this beer in the same manner. 30th anniversary beer seems to have been packaged in May 2018 fwiw.

 

30th in 2018 and 35th in 2020?
Am i dumb?
My Math is not mathing and i know logarithms!

 

Doh! Yeah I was looking at some other Bell's beer and wasn't accurate. 30th was packaged on 8/27/15 so aligns with the 35th dating too. Sorry.

 

I still have a couple 30th, saving them for my 30th wedding anniversary lol
