So, Grates and Crowley have agreed to come drink a beer and talk it over at the white house (in what seems to be Obama's first mediatory "Can't we all just get along?" attempt.)
However, the question is what beer they will be drinking. The White House has traditionally only stocked American beers, so any imports are right out. Budweiser got taken over by a Swedish company and Miller/Coors regularly donate to the Republicans.
So far, the top contenders seem to be Sam Adams and Goose Island (a local Chicago brew that Obama had at his election night party.)
It's amusing, though, that when you're the President, you can't even have a goddamn beer without it being scrutinized for possibly being unAmerican.
(The founding fathers weren't too keen on beer. Ben Franklin said people would be better off just eating fresh bread, but on the other hand wine is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy.)
