    Any word on the release date for this? I will be out in Kalamazoo next week, and was wondering if it would be out yet. Any info would be great.

    It says on their site August, but you could always ask them on their facebook or twitter.

    First bottled 08/12 last year, it was not announced until it showed up in the general store later that day. I assume we may find out when it drops again this year.

    My understanding is that Oracle is only going to be kegged this year

    Kzoobrew, any comment on the keg only suggestion? I trust you as the best MI source, esp with Bells. As an aside, your avatar did great work at Deer Creek this year (but they played better at Pine Knob and in CO last summer). Just my opinion.

    I have heard nothing either way, I was expecting it would be bottled simply because I had not heard any different. Three years ago it was cafe only, two years ago Michigan only, last year was limited across markets so the distribution has never been consistent. I am hoping for at least cafe only, I guess I'll have to ask around.

    Thanks for the input. If it really is DONG, I will have to convince my wife to make the drive from SE MI later on in the month. Still hoping it is distributed (at least in MI). Thanks again.

    What does DONG stand for? Never thought I would ask that question, thanks BA.

    Should be the same price as Hopslam so 14.99-16.99 a six.

    I picked one up on a whim last year. Probably still my favorite from Bells.​

    I may have got my timeline a bit out of order but I am pretty sure it was cafe only, then Michigan only before it went any further.

    It's all good.. I just specifically remember my first time having it being the 2010 vintage. It's good stuff, but I personally prefer Hopslam all day, IMHO.
