Message 502Che beers 999 º places 47 º 20:07 Mon 6/28/2010 Did anyone see the Obama clip from the G20 summit shown on the most recent Daily Show, in which Obama is given a Hobgoblin beer and he refuses to drink it warm, because its been given to him by the British Prime Minister. This American idea of Brits drinking "warm" beer is just mind boggling to me.
Message JK beers 7296 º places 442 º 20:09 Mon 6/28/2010 Obama insulted our closest allies? That is unfortunate.
Message PorterPounder P beers 11097 º places 781 º 20:10 Mon 6/28/2010 He should have had a Canadian Beer - everybody knows its much stronger than American beer
Message 502Che beers 999 º places 47 º 20:20 Mon 6/28/2010 not an insult, just a somewhat ignorant misunderstanding that most Americans perpetuate. For the record, he brought the PM a Goose Island 312, so I gotta give him props at least for reppin’ a local craft brewery of his home town.

Message 502Che beers 999 º places 47 º 20:23 Mon 6/28/2010 for clarity’s sake, he did not refuse to drink the beer. He accepted the beer but made some side comment about refusing to drink it warm.
Message SphinxTX beers 2875 º places 41 º 20:33 Mon 6/28/2010 I hear it all the time from customers, "Did you know that in Britain they serve beer warm?".....Gives me a chance to educate them...
