 Political leanings aside, if you like beer you simply must like this image. It comes from a Chicago Tribute article , published about a month ago.
Why? Look at those glasses, chink-chinking with El Presidente's. There's a different colored beer in every one. Turns out, this photo was taken at Bethlehem Brew Works in Bethlehem, PA, during B.O.'s primary campaign. Now, I'm not saying that this is the first time a Future Pres ever set foot in a brewpub or microbrewery, but it's the first documented case that I've seen.
So what's the big freakin' deal? I'm all for the appreciation of beer. Anytime beer gets national attention outside a Superbowl ad, it makes me happy. Especially if said beer is anything other than fizzy yellow water. Don't get me wrong--I can appreciate a Hamm's as much as the next guy, but I believe in beer equality. All colors, creeds and nations of origin (except Turkey) are equal in my eyes, and deserve equal attention. Never had a filthy Turkish beer that I enjoyed... but that's the subject of a different article entirely.
Anyways, click here to read the full Chicago Tribune article, or here to read The Examiner's take on Obama and beer. Cheers! |
