What Is The Most Overrated Beer? Hmm

by mlive.com/beer  A Deadspin writer has called Bell's Oberon "America's most overrated beer."
Will Gordon of Deadspin said in a post Wednesday good wheat beers aren't hard to find, and says it's strange that Midwesterners "go bonkers for Oberon Ale, Bell's thoroughly ordinary seasonal wheat."
 In his piece, Gordon praises Bell's Two Hearted Ale, saying the beer "rises above the pack." But Oberon, Gordon writes, is "just some beer."
 "I fully respect the way nostalgia and ritual can enhance a drinking experience, but I still think it's bonkers for people to get so damn worked up over the annual release of Oberon. Many places in Michigan and surrounding states go so far as to declare an Oberon Day, which this year fell on March 23. A holiday for a seasonal wheat beer is a hell of a thing. It's a shame the people who invent such things wasted the idea on Oberon," Gordon writes.  deadspin.com/bells-oberon
