Here's a policy any party should agree on: Obama-inspired beer by Brewery Ommegang is delicious.
I stumbled upon the aptly titled Obamagang in a local tavern, quick to notice a new tap handle from Ommegang. Being a fan of their world-class beer, I of course ordered a draft. The copy from Ommegang's official site may say it best:
The beer itself is a dark ale close to a stout, but hinting at a porter. At 6.2% and full of robust roasted malt and chocolate flavors, "Obamagang" is fortifying yet highly drinkable.
Yep, sounds about right. Sure beats a commemorative plate.
One might wonder what beer could be brewed for John McCain. My instinct says an Irish Red Ale with an ample dose of bittering hops.
Where can you find some Obamagang? If you live in a major east coast city like New York or DC, it shouldn't be a problem. Or, if you're "privileged" enough to live in Upstate NY, a rare perk: it's on tap at select bars in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, and of course, Cooperstown. Check out the official Ommegang site for the complete list.
Legally, Obamagang is being marketed as "Inauguration Ale 2009," but the tap handles read differently.
Democrat, Republican or Independent, Obamagang is a clear winner.
