Apparently, Obama purports to be a beer guy, at least according to this post. That’s not to say he has good taste – the jury’s still out on that, since he was careful to check that Yuengling wasn’t a “designer beer” before downing one in a Pennsylvania bar. Of course, there is a beer named after him, sort of anyway, but no word on whether it’s any good.

Meanwhile, Hilary is either a Crown Royal drinker or she’s pandering – what, a presidential hopeful pandering? She did chase it down with a beer, although I haven’t seen any reports telling which brewery, so that’s not much help either.

Of course, John McCain’s political fortunes have been funded largely by beer, given that his wife is hieress to a multi-million dollar Anheuser Busch distributor in Arizona, McCain’s adopted home state. Anheuser Busch has apparently also thrown some cash into the kitty as well, but the beers are unfortunately still pretty lame.

In any event, it appears that beer has played a starring role in this election, whether behind the scenes or in front of the camera, but there’s no indication that it’s good beer. Anyone out there know whether any of our candidates are worthy, at least from a beer perspective?
