What also is amazing is "HOP OBAMA". by Six point Craft ales. This beer is inspired by Senator Obama's run for the presidency.  It's a new, limited edition, beer on tap which is brewed in Brooklyn.  According to the Sixpoints company, all Sixpoint Craft Ales are unpasteurized and unfiltered and brewed in small, 15-barrel batches using predominantly domestic hops, European malts, a special house yeast, and 100% New York City tap water.
Ah yes New York City Tap water. Doesn't that make it special?? I just read in the paper that some marekting guy from Ohio is selling NYC tap water for $1.50/bottle? You got to be kidding. Now Tap water with above 5% alcohol is the way to go! If I'm paying premium prices, I want a buzz.
Here is a Big Cheers to Micro Breweries! Though good drinking and celebrating is something that has been popular throughout the ages.
For Instance as Ben Franklin said:  "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria." It has been scientifically proven that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop. (that's over 2 pounds). In studies shown it proves that we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting. Remember: Water = Poop, Beer/ Hop Obama= Health Therefore, it's better to drink beer and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit.
This is history in the making itself. I have never heard of a beer named after a president or political figure. I think it's pretty cool to have a beer inspired by you and if he does become president I know many of us, including myself, will be... "Drinking for change!"
