O'bama celebrates St. Pat's with a pint

[superpatriotman]

President Barack Obama tilted back a glass of the dark Irish brew Saturday, observing St. Patrick's Day at a boisterous Irish pub with his ancestral cousin from Moneygall, Ireland, at his side.

At the White House, the main South Lawn Fountain burbled green water. Nearby, workers prepared for a visit Tuesday by the Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny.

The first family was putting on its Irish, a blood line that runs through Obama's veins.

Obama took his motorcade to the Dubliner Restaurant and Pub on a dazzling Saturday afternoon. He wore no Kelly green but his jacket was pierced with a button that read, "VIP GUEST – Tell `em Danny sent you." The president waded into a crowd – some in leprechaun hats and others in dyed green hair – at the entrance of the tavern near Washington's landmark Union Station.

1. What? Not a forty?

Seriesly. When he visited Ireland, Faux reported* that he was "chugging forties of Guinness".

2. A President who can drink a beer without threat of alcoholic relapse

That's pretty nice, all things considered.

3. I plan on downing several pints this evening too.

But it will NOT be Guinness - I hate the stuff. It will be Spotted Cow from the New Glarus brewery in Wisconsin.

4. Damn

You're lucky! I still want to try some New Glarus, but it's harder to get than Three Floyds. At least I could find some of that in Ohio a couple of weeks ago.

6. It's on tap in all the bars in Milwaukee!

come and visit if you like beer.

7. Yeah, I gotta go

and I don't like beer, I worship it! Went to a new tavern last night in Garfield, NJ called "Three Wise Monks", they had some nice stuff on tap there, and I killed the keg of Founders Stout.

5. Oh, man!!

I've not had spotted cow in years... such a fantastic beer.
