Oberon Time

This week Bell's Oberon came out for the season. I'm sure some of you haven't heard of Oberon, although it is becoming available nationally. Bell's Brewery is in Kalamazoo Michigan. The owner went to Kalamazoo College and would brew beer in his dorm room. Oberon is my favorite beer ever. It's only available April to October (or so). Every year Dave would talk to me sometime during the first week it was out and say "got you a 6 pack of Oberon baby!" He would be so proud he knew before me. We always went outside and worked in the yard while drinking a beer or two. Oh shit, I'm a wreak. Another first. Let's change subjects.....

So today Tim and Edd came over and cleaned up the upstairs so there's room for window work. They even vacuumed. Thanks Tim and Edd. That's just the way life is.... something ends and something begins.


peace, love, groove

  1. A lot of great music was created up there. The brewMeister for Bells came from Germany and worked for Pro Co sound for a while when he first came over as a computer guy.

  2. 25 years is a lifetime of beautiful memories, but in this phase of your grieving the memories are painful. It's really hitting home that he's gone. The coming of spring...that must be so hard. An empty spring, without Dave.
    Having said all that, I have to tell you that I believe with all my heart that one day your memories will bring more smiles than tears. I don't know how long that will take, but I do believe it will happen. Keep yourself open to life, and one day it will all be ok.
    Love....

  3. The first time I ever had Bell's beer was at your house about 10 years ago. You and Dave were having a party in your back yard, and I think it was first time I had been to your house. I remember being so amazed at all the landscaping you two had done. I have photos from that party, by the way - will show you sometime. Long story short, I will always associate Bell's with Dave, so here's a toast of Oberon to our dear friend!
