'Just One' More Beer In Iowa: President Obama Visits The Pump Haus In Cedar Falls




. . . news that President Obama is ferrying White House homebrewed beer aboard his massive bus as he rolls through Iowa made headlines on Tuesday, and in the evening there was more sudsy action. Clearly wooing beer track voters, the President made a "surprise" visit to The Pump Haus bar & grill, located on Main Street in the town of Cedar Falls. Surrounded by patrons, the President ordered a Bud Light.

The bartender told the President his Bud was on the house, but the Beer Drinker in Chief argued . . . "No, no, no," President Obama said.

Ahead of his visit to The Pump Haus, President Obama told a crowd in Marshalltown about the Bud he drank on Monday night when he visited the Iowa State Fair.

"It was good. I might have another beer today. You know, just one,” he joked. Mission accomplished.
