HAPPY OBERON DAY - A Lucky 7 Fly Reels Flashback

The Michigan part of me is stoked that today is Oberon Day, which means that cans, bottles, and mini kegs dressed in flashy orange and blue will be rolling out of the warehouse of Bell's Brewery.  We should see it down here in South Carolina in a few days.

I've done it before but fittingly a rite of spring is highlighting a project a few years ago with Vince Huttley where he carefully crafted a set of seven fly reels with the Oberon can metal on the backside of each one.  When complete, they were each housed in a custom Vedavoo Retro Fly patched No-Kink Reel Cover and wooden box, also built by Vince.


Take a trip down memory lane, even better with a pint of Oberon, with rereading the six part series of the Lucky 7 fly reels...

Happy Oberon Day.  Where will you find a pint, bottle, or can of this "Sunshine in a Glass"?
