White House Beer Summit

I’m sure I’m not the only one who, when hearing of the White House Beer Summit, wondered first “what beer will they have?” Today we have an answer, although I’m not sure the ink is dry on this one. According to the Wall Street Journal, Red Stripe and Blue Moon will be served to Professor Gates and Sergeant Crowley, respectively, and it’s Bud Light for the President.

Oh, Mr. President…

I’m not sure what I would recommend he have, but I like the idea mentioned in the story of serving Equality Ale made by the Capitol City Brewing Company in DC (although I’ve never tried it). Any suggestions out there? Leave a comment.

Update: Was Red Stripe unavailable? CNN reports that Professor Gates ended up with a Samuel Adams Light while surprise guest VP Biden enjoyed a Buckler “near beer”. I’m beginning to think that they all should have gone with a Presidential IPA from our old friends at Diamond Bear Brewing.
