About: I remember my first beer...actually, I don't. It was probably something horrible like a Coors light and I'm glad I've forgotten. My experience with beer has come full circle. Originally I gave up on beer because I thought it was all crappy lagers. One day in 2002, I happened upon a little deli called Hollingshead in Anaheim, CA that just happened to have a vast array of "crazy" beers on tap I had never heard of. I dug the look of the STONE IPA handle and tried it. My life has never been the same since. I was in love with hops, grains, and the amazing beauty of what beer can really be.
I love bold flavors and extremes. Belgiums and homebrewing my own beer.See Authors Posts (76) | Filed under: News
I dug up a few pictures of Obama tossing back some beer and had to wonder what beer, if any, does Obama drink? There have been several ales brewed up for the inauguration from several brewers.
Ommegang has their OBAMAgang described as “…a rich porter with a splash of cherry beer and dab of chocolate.”
There’s a “Hop Obama” Ale from Sixpoint Craft Ales (Redhook).
A DC local Democratic organization brews “Inaugur-Ale”:
Some Denver brewer apparently named “Dale’s” made a brew:
…And there are probably many more brewers out there who crafted a special inaugural ale. If I missed one, let me know.

Dale’s Pale Ale is made by Oskar Blues (www.oskarblues.com). Their beer is strong as all hell, but still tasty

Edit to prior comment: at one point, the Wynkoop (Denver) brewed “The Obaminator” which was incredibly tasty. It was around election time so they may have discontinued it by now…
