Monday marked the return of Oberon, a beer synonymous with the changing of the seasons.

Lansing resident Pete Wilson says that Oberon is one of his favorite ales, not only because it reminds him of summer but it tastes like it too.
"It's good, light, flavorful, really good when it's icy cold, and you don't even need an orange in it," said Wilson.
Burris says that the love for the ale is the reason they make sure it makes the shelves day one.
"It's a Michigan beer, people love it, it has a history behind it, and it's just an exciting part of culture," said Burris.
The beer is available statewide until mid-September,
