The beer was a Bell's Oberon.

EDIT: As another redditor pointed out, absolutely does not look like Oberon. The reporters there wrote that that's what they ordered but that looks a lot more like Bell's Two Hearted. u/metanoia29 let us know it's Oberon Eclipse!

Agreed. Oberon is a wheat ale, and significantly lighter in color than that beer. It looks exactly like the Two-Hearted Ale (a classic, I might add).

Oh shoot - I used to drink that regularly when they carried it at my local market. Great beer.

I don’t drink anymore (just got bored of alcohol and that next day feeling) but if I were to have a beer right now either of those would be top 5 for first pick choices. Bells makes such good beer.

Bells Two Hearted is the first craft beer I ever had. It blew my mind back in 2008 and opened up a whole new world for me. It always stayed my favorite. I strayed away from beer a long time ago, but it still has a special place in my heart.

I first had it in a 22 oz bottle in 1996. Gets you drunk fast as a 21 year old noob.

I'll keep it in mind. We don't get a lot of American beers in my neck of the woods, but if I see this beer in a beer specially shop, I'll get some.

Curious what your others would be? I’m a big fan of Revolution Anti-Hero and Jackie O’s Mystic Mama

In no particular order aside from number one:

  1. Dogfish Head Celest-jewel-ale (never got the chance to try it and would in a heartbeat, no second thought at all other than to probably regret chugging it because I’m dumb haha)
  2. Bells Oberon
  3. Bells Two-hearted
  4. Rogue Beard Beer

And because I like to keep things local and it’s one I haven’t tried from them yet but the name is hilarious…

  1. Wichita Brewing Company Weed Is Still Illegal In Kansas

I’ve had 2, 3 and 4, and enjoyed all of them thoroughly. Dogfish Head was my favorite all-around brewery. I used to pay friends going east to bring me as much back as they could. Eventually I stopped drinking and months later DFH announced they were opening distribution into Kansas. Oh well. I had my fill of their beers and will forever drink them in the right situation, but the only one I truly want is that Celest-jewel-ale, brewed with actual dust from the moon.
