What would you serve?

[jacksonbrown]

As you guys prob know, President Obama has invited professor Gates and sergeant Crowley to the White House for a beer to smooth over the hulabalu over saying police had "acted stupidly" and implying that racial profiling was a factor in the arrest.
So what I'm wondering is, if you were Mr. Obama, what would you serve these two fine gentelmen? If it were me, I'd serve up some black and tans for the sake irony.

 

[IrregularPulse]

haha That would be good. One better than a Black and Tan would be a black and White. Murphy's over a nice spiced Belgian Wit!

Natty Ice. Everyone will actually agree on something: the beer sucks.

 

[buzzkill]

the cop should get a coors light. after they found that it was his home, it should of ended. regardless of how much trash he talked to the cop. freedom of speech in ones own home should be the trump card. Would be cool to know what kinda beer the W.H. kitchen has stocked up. bet its swill,but ya never know.

 

[Shooter]

I would probably just send everyone back home and have the president kick it solo with a new brew I thought up called, No Comment Pils.

"No Comment Pils, something to stick in your mouth in place of that foot! Mmm, enjoy a No Comment Pils today!"

 

[chefchris]

Any beer that was brewed stupidly.

I'd personally brew up a batch of "Race-Baiting Bitter" for Gates

Rogue Arrogant Bastard

Perfect!

Rogue = The Police Officer
Arrogant = The Professor
Bastard = The President (In the technical sense as he was raised without a his father).

I'd like to see Obama serve malt liquor by the forty (no glasses) and see if the Prof. calls him out on it.

Pissed my pants. Although Arrogant Bastard is my favorite so far for sure.

 

[Bobby_M]

Get the hell out of my house cracker - witbier
**** you it's my job - stout
I shouldn't be weighing in on a minor local matter because I'm the president - berliner weiss

Consider those beer names copywritten.

I'll drink your momma's beer outside pale ale

I don't know the facts of this thread, but its clear this is stupid.

I'm a big Obama supporter, but that's freakin' funny!

I don't know the facts of this thread, but its clear this is stupid.

Exactly my thought about the WHOLE thing!

I don't know the facts of this thread, but its clear this is stupid.

well, it should say: "I don't know the facts of this thread, but the OP clearly acted stupidly, and it's a fact that malt liquor drinkers get arrested more than anyone else."

WITTE man is holding us down BIER

 

[bigdug]

on the cbs morning show they had said the selections would be beck's, bud, and blue moon. Harry Smith called Blue Moon a micro brew. I guess Obama never said they would work it out over a good beer.

 

[KillerKellers]

I just heard on Fox (yeah, for what thats worth..)

Sgt Crowley - Blue Moon
Prof Gates - Red Stripe
Pres Obama - Bud Light

Wonder if their discussion will be as bland as their beer..

 

[mr_clean]

Irish stout

pppffftttttt - (sound of beer spewing all over desk and monitor). Good one - now to find the screen cleaner.

 

[Revvy]

It's official the beer list is out....

The Pres-Bud Light (gag)
The Professor- Red Stripe (little better)
The Cop- Blue moon. (giggle-the cop likes a girly beer )

Professor Gates, Police Sgt. Crowley set for Obama's 'beer summit' - Los Angeles Times

Me personally would either go for the pseudo-wit or the redsrtipe.

I wonder which conservative pundit is going to now call Qbama un American for not choosing a domestic product, like sam adams, over a foreign owned beer like budweiser.

 

[ODP]

just heard the list on the local news- too damn funny

 

[Overdue4Brew]

wow, another win for anheuser busch

For what it is worth, Stone produces Arrogant Bastard, not Rogue.

Like it or not, the President's beer choice is important. It doesn't really matter what his personal preference is. I imagine he didn't even make the selection himself. Bud Light is not only the most popular beer in America, it's popular across all ethnicities and socioeconomic statuses.

I do agree though with the earlier poster who suggested Sam Adams. It's a popular enough beer that everyone would recognize it and it comes from an American-owned brewery. If Yeungling or Anchor Steam were as widely available, I think they would also make great options.
