Politicians that brew?

[eibbor]

So who knows of politicians or any public figures (actors, musicians, athletes...) that brew? Not important, just curious.

Are forefathers, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin all brewed beer in their home's. Brewing beer in your home is America's past time.

Brewing beer was wimmins work back then.

Washington also had the country's largest whiskey distillery. It's interesting to read some of the history of the country's first tax act: it was a tax that taxed small capacity distilleries 9 cents per gallon, while larger distilleries were only taxed 6 cents per gallon:

John Hickenlooper, current mayor of Denver and candidate for Colorado Governor, co-founded Wynkoop Brewing in the 1980's. I don't think he is involved with the restaurant or bar anymore.

correct,
when he became mayor his resturaunts had to be distanced from him so he turned their control over to a trust and since has sold them off.

Well, I dunno about brewing, but Michael Jackson did a lot to make craft beer mainstream...

Still is, in my opinion.

I think there is a supermodel who has been featured in some homebrew magazines, but I forget her name.

I hear this supermodel also plays hockey! :rockin:

 

[lackey2000]

Last I heard, politicians don't have time to brew.

They're too busy trying to figure out what to do with all that money BMC stuffed in their pockets.

LOL. The only place that would consider me a supermodel is the Old Folks Home for The Blind. I could be the cover girl for "Geriatric Times", though, I suppose.

Possibly Representative Peter DeFazio (Oregon D, 4th District) head of the small brewers caucus.
