Following the United States' loss to Canada in the 2010 Winter Olympics ice hockey finals, President Obama settled a friendly wager with the Canadian Prime Minister, sending him Molson with a little taste of America--a case of Yuengling--to go along with it. A few months later, he made a similar bet with British Prime Minister David Cameron over the World Cup game, but it ended in a draw. Sadly, both leaders stayed dry.
I can really appreciate a president who enjoys his brew. And a beer-loving Commander in Chief should come at no surprise given the fact that many of our Founding Fathers brewed beer. Some even developed their own original recipes. So next time you pledge allegiance, make sure you hold a cold one to your heart; beer is as tied up with our American heritage as the Star-Spangled Banner.

If you want my opinion, I think that a few cases of Arrogant Bastard would have sent a more powerful American message. Next time, mayhap.
