BS: Having a beer with Obama

Subject: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Bill D Date: 28 Jul 09 - 04:49 PM It is with great regret that I must withdraw my support & respect for President Obama. The meeting with Gates and the police officer seems to be scheduled....enough that they are releasing info on the brands preferred. Gates said he would take a Red Stripe or a Beck's... tolerable, but shows little class. The police officer wants a Blue Moon... shows knowledge of styles and taste, though not the 'best' in class. Perhaps it's a budget thing. Obama says he will be drinking Budweiser....arrrggggghhhhhh. |

Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Peace Date: 28 Jul 09 - 04:51 PM The police officer wants to hear the song. He doesn't drink. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Bill D Date: 28 Jul 09 - 04:55 PM I just post what was reported..... ☺ ...maybe Obama can sing it? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Peace Date: 28 Jul 09 - 04:56 PM LOL Here we go again. Bill, I thought you were joking. Is this for-real? The beer with Obama thing? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: meself Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:00 PM What I want to know is - who's going to drink who under the table? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: bobad Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:03 PM Obama is cultivating the everyman image, if he chose something exotic he'd be labelled an elitist. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Peace Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:03 PM Are we all invited, too? If so, when is it. If not, then WHY? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Ebbie Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:04 PM It is also possible that Obama is simply not a beer drinker. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: meself Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:06 PM All?? Heck, the olive-skinned neighbour isn't even invited. The 911 dispatcher - whose skin-tone, incidentally, we STILL don't know - isn't even invited. I haven't even been invited. This a very exclusive chug-a-lug. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Peace Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:07 PM Yeah. I agree with meself. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: gnu Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:21 PM A Bud man! Damn straight! Bud... the beer of choice for beer drinkers who want a beer that tastes LIKE beer but doesn't sit in yer mouth like a wet dog and does not leave you hung over in the morning like all the other crap you guys keep saying are SOOOOO much better than Bud. It outsells everything else in NA for a reason... well two... maybe BO doesn't know it, but every Bud bought is a vote for the NRA. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Peace Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:23 PM Gnu, Bud's ok until the twentieth or so. After that it tastes like shit. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Charley Noble Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:24 PM Let's exit to the Mudcat Tavern where we can enjoy some real brew! The First round is on me (not literally)! Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Little Hawk Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:29 PM Shane McBride should also be allowed to attend this meeting...as he is a world class expert in that field. He has a very low opinion of American beer, though, so I think he would probably request a Molson Export or a Labatt's Blue. As for Chongo, he would probably go for the Budweiser. "What about smokes?" asks Shane. "It'll be Players Light fer me." |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Peace Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:32 PM I'm still trying to determine if this is a joke or not. Like, am I gonna be the only guy who shows up dressed to party, spliff in one hand, beer in the other? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Little Hawk Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:34 PM No! Shane will be there right beside you. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: gnu Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:34 PM Labatt's Blue... that's Bud. Canuck Bud. I wasn't talking about Yankee Bud! Oh, my!!! Sorry to offend. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Peace Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:36 PM Whew! THAT'S a relief, Gnu. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: gnu Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:38 PM Blue = Bud. If you can tell the difference, you are lying. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: gnu Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:38 PM The Cherry calls his dog Bud. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Peace Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:40 PM Blue is a dog sung about in folksong. Bud was on the show, "Father Knows Best". Both those beers taste like shit after twenty or so. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:41 PM "Obama is cultivating the everyman image, if he chose something exotic he'd be labelled an elitist." And he couldn't choose "Duff Beer", because its made in Yorkshire. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Peace Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:45 PM Well, Dan O from Mudcat has some moonshine friends. Maybe . . . . |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Rapparee Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:53 PM Yeah, but Moose Drool, Bitch Creek, Cutthroat and Polygamy Porter are all brewed in the US of A. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Rapparee Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:53 PM So is Dead Guy Ale, for that matter. |

Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Don Firth Date: 28 Jul 09 - 06:08 PM I don't think I've drunk a well-known brand of beer in a couple of decades. We've got some darned good micro-breweries around here. I used to drink Red Hook's "Ballard Bitter" until they changed it (too hefty for some people). A couple of years ago I was introduced to one from a Montana micro-brewery: "Moose Drool." In one episode of "The Red Green Show" (Canadian), in the Possum Lodge word game, the secret word that Red was trying to get Ranger Gord to say was "Water." Red: This is something that everyone drinks.Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: bobad Date: 28 Jul 09 - 06:14 PM He could order one of these or one of these but the optics might be questionable. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Bill D Date: 28 Jul 09 - 06:33 PM Clear answer for Peace... NOT a joke. I heard it yesterday, and 20 minutes after I started this thread, it was on the news again..Gates has settled on Beck's. Blue Moon (they check yer age before letting you in, then it gets fancy) The Blue Moon I have had is a wheat beer modeled on Belgian styles. (The Belgians still do it best) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Bobert Date: 28 Jul 09 - 06:35 PM What next??? A #47 Budweiser/Obama NASCAR race car??? I mean, this is rediculous... I say, let the cop and the professor just have a friggin' duel, sell tickets and use the money to finance Obama's health insurance plan... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Peace Date: 28 Jul 09 - 06:38 PM Thanks, Bill. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: gnu Date: 28 Jul 09 - 06:39 PM Yes, Bruce. I have received and processed the data. Rough with two brain cells, but the binary system is better than the alternative. Like..... Arrrrgggghhhh... I promised Mother Superior I would not give in to temptation for seven days hence!!! Ohhhh... steady.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Bill D Date: 28 Jul 09 - 06:41 PM Obama could at least drink Sam Adams or something. Nationally advertised and hardly elitist. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Little Hawk Date: 28 Jul 09 - 07:16 PM Now yer talkin', Bobert! Chongo can help arrange that event you suggested. How about having it in Chicago at the baseball field? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: heric Date: 28 Jul 09 - 07:30 PM I knew Obama was going to choose Bud. If I were him I'd choose Pabst Blue Ribbon but he's not an extremist like me. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Joe_F Date: 28 Jul 09 - 08:25 PM They will not be able to have their meeting at Doyle's. Some years ago, the new management of that venerable saloon in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston decided to upscale its clientele, and, as a way of driving away the riffraff who used to drink there, removed Budweiser from the beer list. What is more remarkable, that business decision was spread upon the minutes in an interview published in the Boston Globe. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Rapparee Date: 28 Jul 09 - 08:40 PM They tore down the only good baseball park in Chicago, and Wrigley's is going fast. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Ebbie Date: 28 Jul 09 - 09:27 PM I just got in from having halibut and chips el fresco I had to seek a table in the shade - it's too hot for me out there today. I also had an Alaskan Amber. Luscious. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Peace Date: 29 Jul 09 - 05:40 PM Hot? I'm in a pool of sweat. I dislike heat like this--with my deepest respects to Doug R who's having it harder than most today. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Amos Date: 29 Jul 09 - 05:44 PM One of our local favorites is Fat Bastard ale. But in general I like Guinness. But I'd drink a Bud and bear it if Obama asked me. Least I could do. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 29 Jul 09 - 06:09 PM Now Real Budweiser, from the Czech Republic, is a completely different thing. But I don't imagine Obama would risk offending the voters by drinking it instead of the American version. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Bill D Date: 29 Jul 09 - 06:20 PM I believe Anheuser-Busch has a contract or agreement to NOT allow real Budweiser to be imported. I have never seen it, and I have looked. They would not like to be compared. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: bobad Date: 29 Jul 09 - 07:10 PM We get it up here in Canada. Typical European style beer, nothing special but miles above US Bud, needless to say. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 29 Jul 09 - 07:17 PM On sale here in all the supermarkets. For some reason they still seem to sell a fair amount of the American version, so taste isn't everything, advertising affects these things as well. I doubt if it'd hurt sales of American Budweiser if the Czech original were on sale there as well - after all the people who buy Bud already have plenty of much better native beers which they don't choose to drink. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Bill D Date: 29 Jul 09 - 08:09 PM well...Google finds all truth! It seems there are 3 companies involved, and still much dispute and offers & rulings... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budweiser |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Bill H //\\ Date: 29 Jul 09 - 08:14 PM Always wonderful when the discussion turns to the really important things. Brilliant!! Next week we shall watch the world implode and chat of the merits of different brands of Vodka---only imports (to the U S) are allowed to be flaovered. Bit of trivia for your edification. Bill Hahn |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Bill D Date: 29 Jul 09 - 10:26 PM You mean dem poor Russkies ain't allowed to have that wunnerful liquorice vodka? I think the UN should get involved and MAKE them drink it! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: fumblefingers Date: 29 Jul 09 - 10:55 PM At least drink real beer. Maybe a Singapore Tiger, a Phil. San Miguel, or a European beer. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Jul 09 - 08:56 AM Today's the day! Anyone planning to share a round with the President, and help put this story to bed? I'll be raising a bottle of amber Shipyard Ale. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: dick greenhaus Date: 30 Jul 09 - 11:14 AM The audacity of hops? |

Subject: RE: BS: Having a beer with Obama From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Jul 09 - 12:16 PM Nice one, Dick! Traditional after "When Jones Ale Was New" New Verses by Charlie Ipcar 2009 When Shipyard Ale Was New Pres. Obama came through the door, Had one Bud and fell to the floor, When Shipyard Ale was new, me boys, When Shipyard Ale was new! Sgt. Crowley came in looking fain, Tossed off a pint and felt no pain, When Shipyard Ale was new, me boys, When Shipyard Ale was new! Prof. Gates was the last come by, He never drank beer but he said he'd try, When Shipyard Ale was new, me boys, When Shipyard Ale was new! They drank so much of the ale and stout, They had to close the place and throw 'em out, When Shipyard Ale was new, me boys, When Shipyard Ale was new! Cheerily, Charley Noble |
