One Last Summer Fling – Louie’s Oberon Clone
Here in Michigan one of the things that we look forward to in the spring besides the Detroit Tigers Opening Day is the Bell’s Brewery release of Oberon Ale. The return of this hazy, golden orange colored wheat beer is almost a state holiday and many people, non-brewers mostly cannot wait until this seasonal beer comes back to their local beer store. I have to say that as much as I like Oberon I like brewing my own version even more.

So, you want to start brewing your own beer?
For years I had always thought about how cool it would be to brew my own beer. To be able to reach into the refrigerator and grab a bottle of beer hand it to a friend or relative and say, “try this, I made it” and watch their faces as they take the first sips of the wonderful elixir that I created. But I always seemed to have something else to do, I was always “too busy” working or raising my family to get into brewing! The fact was I was afraid to start something that was either too complicated and/or too expensive and have it turn out like crap. Ahh, if I only knew then what I know now I could have been brewing beer and enjoying the hobby of brewing a lot sooner.
