Every beer snob has had Bell's Two Hearted, and I love it. It's one of the better go to "session beers" out there. "Session' meaning "Still a craft beer, but not rich or potent enough that you can still drink many in one sitting without getting gut-rot" for those unfamiliar with the term. Bell's makes some brews I can't tolerate, and a few I love. I like Two Hearted, love Oberon, but that's about it from them. I'm a huge stout and porter fan and their stouts and porters are pretty mediocre at best.

I agree, having grown up in Michigan bells is everywhere and the only two I ever drink are the ones you mentioned. Have you ever tried Hitachino Nest? It's a white ale from Japan. It may be my favorite beer ever and is certainly nice in the summertime.

I have not, but I love witbier.

Oh I will, I have a beer list that I added it to for whenever I make it over to one of the better beer stores in the area that have a more robust selection of craft and import beer. I stay away from most Japanese beers because many use a rice mash for the grain, and that's a migraine trigger for me for whatever reason. Not rice itself, but alcohol made from rice. But this is a witbier so it should be wheat, so it should be a non-issue and I'm curious to try it now.

I thank you in advance for the recommendation.
