General Oberon release questions
When does Oberon come out?
Oberon is released on Monday, March 25 in all the states we distribute, which for the first time ever, is the entire United States!
Can I PLEASE get it earlier?
No, you need to wait, but maybe an Eclipse can tide you over?
Are there any special parties?
Yes, there are several launch parties across the country. Here’s a list!
Where can I get Oberon?
Oberon should be available at most locations that sell or serve our beer. Call ahead before heading out on Oberon Day and check out our Beer Finder.
Is there Oberon gear?
You know it. Check out our Online Store. And there’s a 10% sale on Oberon merch in March, so carpe diem.
I heard about an Oberon shandy — what is it?
Oberon is going to have some friends join it this Summer. Oberon Sunshine is a new shandy that will be released later this year in 12 packs, with three different varieties: Cherry Limeade Shandy, Lemonade Shandy, and Tropical Shandy. It won’t be released for Oberon Day, we’ll share all the details about the release soon 🍻🍋🍒🍍☀️
Did you change the recipe this year?
We get this question a lot. No, we have not changed the recipe for Oberon this year and have no plans to do so. Learn more about why Oberon might taste different on our Help Center.
