I can’t believe the flap over the arrest of Professor Gates will be discussed today over foreign beer at the White House. According to reports, Bud Light, Blue Moon and Red Stripe are on tap, and all are made by companies domiciled outside of the U.S.
This occasion calls for American beer, perhaps some from the John Harvard’s chain of brewpubs which got its start where the incident took place, in Cambridge, Mass. there’s also Harpoon and Sam Adams from Boston, or as mentioned in today’s WSJ, Capital City in DC has been lobbying for a place at the table for its aptly named Equality Ale.
Think globally, drink locally, gentlemen.
