White House beer party

Well I was wrong, there will be no Billy Beer at the White House for President Obama's beer drinking party. It has been revealed that Office Crowley will be drinking Blue Moon, while Professor Gates will be drinking either Beck’s or a Red Stripe. Obama is said to prefer Budweiser. So there you have it.

I don't think I have ever tried either Blue Moon or Red Stripe. I have tried both Beck's and Budweiser, but right now my beer of choice is a Liberian pale lager, Club Beer. It's brewed in Monrovia by Monrovia Brewers Inc.

Club Beer in Liberia is a delight, the best beer in Africa so-far. Brewed and bottled in liberia by Monrovia Breweries Inc. 33cl and 65cl. Larger ones are better. Reminds of draught beer.

Obama to have two buddies over for a beer

Black scholar agrees to beer with Obama, policeman

That's good. Maybe they can hash tings out over a beer. And I wonder what brand of beer will Obama offer his guests. I have a suggestion. Maybe he can find a few cans of Billy Beer somewhere and they can drink that. Actually, I think you can find it on Ebay. (For those who don't know, Billy Beer was named after President Jimmy Carter's beer drinking late brother Billy.) And since they will be drinking beer in the White House, wouldn't it be appropriate to drink a beer named after a president's brother?

But seriously, I hope that this meeting can help to heal some of the raw wounds that have been exposed since this unfortunate incident happened. I think President Obama was right in saying that two good people got caught up in a bad situation and both had probably used a bit of bad judgment.

I accept that Officer Crowley is probably not a racist, but there are plenty of other racist cops out there and hopefully this whole incident will focus positive attention on this issue. The unnecessary harassment of black men by police officers in this country has got to stop.
