COMSTOCK, Michigan - Bell's Brewery, Michigan’s largest craft brewery, today
announced the expansion of its iconic Oberon brand family with the release of the Oberon
Sunshine Shandy variety pack.
Bell’s master brewers took inspiration from what fans love about Oberon to create three fruit-forward shandy options, including citrusy lemonade, tart tropical flavors like passionfruit, and
subtly sweet cherry limeade. At 4.2% ABV, Oberon Sunshine is another chance to embrace
Oberon season.
“Oberon Sunshine is all about big flavors and summer fun - something Oberon is known for,”
said Scott Powell, Bell’s Senior Director of Marketing. “We wanted to give consumers a
refreshing, easy-drinking shandy to pair perfectly with summer activities.”
While Oberon remains as popular as ever, expanding into shandy allows Bell’s to reach new
consumers with a flavor-packed twist on a classic that can be enjoyed while supplies last.
“Oberon’s dedicated fans have been asking us to expand the brand for years but growing the
Oberon family is something we do very intentionally at Bell’s,” said Carly Davis, Brand Senior
Manager. “It’s important that any addition can live up to our iconic Oberon Ale and we wanted
to create something for the Bell's drinker seeking big flavor with a lower ABV and lighter body.
Oberon Sunshine accomplishes all those things and we're excited to bring our fans something
new.”
The variety pack will be available nationwide beginning this week in 12oz can 12 packs and on
tap at Bell’s Eccentric Café, located at 355 E Kalamazoo Ave, Kalamazoo, MI 49007.
