Looking at the 5-day forecast, it’s easy for us Midwesterners to get excited about a few days above 50 degrees—the possibility of another snow ever-looming. But this week—rain or shine, snow or sleet—there’s one thing we can all count on: Bell’s Oberon is here for another season.
Seen as the unofficial first day of spring by many, Oberon’s near cult following has created an infectious buzz around its annual March release date and customers go to great lengths to get their hands on the freshest glass possible. Its drinkability and approachability attract all types of beer drinkers and we were fortunate to sit down with David Munro, National Field Services Manager for Bell’s Brewery, to talk about Oberon and why it’s one of the most sought-after beers of the year.

Below are some of our favorite beers that, once it hits your lips, you start seeing red, orange and yellow leaves and you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and you’re wearing flannel. Embrace autumn, everyone.
Walking into the grain room at 3 Sheeps Brewing Co. is, like with most things at Grant Pauly’s Wisconsin brewery, slightly out of the ordinary.
“We’re on the third floor, which is unusual for a grain room because of the weight but this building is an old sock factory and they used to keep the equipment up here,” Grant explains, “The floor boards are about 10 inches thick.”
From new craft beer fans to veteran hop heads, there’s one beer style that crosses more groups than any other: the IPA. IPAs (or India Pale Ales) are the single most popular beer style in the United States — and for good reason. They’re tasty, packed full of flavor and exist in a dizzying array of varieties. They also have deep roots in history.
