Oberade is a beer mix consisting of a 50-50 mix of the beers Oberon (Bell's Brewery) and Soft Parade (Short's Brewery). Soft Parade is a fruity beer, and Oberon is a wheat bear, so Oberade has a mildly fruity taste, along with small amount of wheat taste. Oberade has a deceptively high alcohol content at 7.4% (Soft Parade 9%, Oberon 5.8%). Oberade is can generally be ordered at bars that serve both beers, especially if both beers are on tap.
"I ordered an Oberade here last week, and this week our server remembers what it is!"

"Do you think Oberade will ever be sold at the store?"

"Probably not, Oberon and Soft Parade are made by competing breweries."

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
