We have it year round here in FL. Good beer but the price is too high to buy it very often.

My daughter and I made up a recipe based on a few threads of information. Never brewed it because it was getting to close to the actual release and I don't have time enough to spend brewing beer that I can buy downtown.
Also, FYI I emailed Bells about their methods and the brewer assured me that they do NOT perform a decoction mash for this beer.
Thank you for taking the time to contact us. We do not use decoction mashing for Oberon Ale. In fact, we use a simple infusion mash. I’m sorry that there isn’t more of a trick to it than that, but there it is.
Oberon is available year round in Puerto Rico, Florida, Arizona and parts of southern Alabama.

How is it fair that the beer brewed in MY HOME STATE isn't available year round here...
My only question is, are they stockpiling old Oberon and just sending it out to these states? I know the Oberon sold in MI isn't pasteurized, but are there laws in other states where it has to be, increasing shelf life?
