Bell’s Uberon, a barrel-aged Oberon is come at the end of August

Bell's Uberon

Bell’s Brewery’s widely popular seasonal Oberon will have extra life as the weather cools down. The Michigan based brewery has been barrel-aging the wheat ale to create something much stronger than the summer sipper/ Meet Bell’s Uberon

The brewery describes Uberon as their “classic wheat ale with a shot of bourbon dropped into it.” Something you can store away for a winter night when you’re missing the warmer days of Oberon and summer. 

Bell’s Uberon is a whopping 11.3% alcohol by volume, which is nearly double Oberon’s 5.8% ABV. Shipping in 12-ounce bottles to distributors by the end of August. 

Style: Wheat Ale (Barrel Aged. Bourbon.)
Availability: 12oz Bottles. Limited Release.

Debut: Late August 2021
