The upcoming White House meeting with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and the Cambridge police officer who arrested him earlier this month appears to have touched off a fresh debate all on its own: what kind of beer should be served?
Earlier this week the White House indicated each man would drink the beer of their choice — Bud Light for President Obama, Blue Moon for the police officer, and perhaps Red Stripe or Beck's for Gates.
But one Massachusetts congressman thinks another beer entirely should be served: Boston's own Sam Adams.
In a letter to Obama dated Wednesday, Massachusetts Rep. Richard Neal strongly urges the president not to drink Budweiser, now owned by a Belgian company. Nor should the White House consider serving Miller or Coors, Neal writes, both owned by a United Kingdom conglomerate.
Instead, the White House should serve the three men — all with ties to Massachusetts — the local favorite, not only because of its popularity in the region but also because it remains the largest American-owned and brewed beer, Neal says.
But Sam Adams founder and brewer Jim Koch told NPR if it was up to him he would make a special beer just for the event.

We can always count on CNN to have the President’s member deeply embedded in almost every article they produce.
What an inane farce.
Obama drinnking a Bud Light is a farce. He’s only drinking it to get ‘cred’. No way the man drinks beer, let alone a Bud Light.
Since beer has been described as “liquid bread,” I guess that’s the “bread” part of the bread and circuses we’re getting.
"Duff Man says bad choices!
Regardless of the brand, this entire thing is just a continuation of the Obama con job on America.
This is stupid.
Certainly not a drinking moment.
I’m surprised the FUHRER will ALLOW Blue Moon in the WHITE HOUSE... being from a NON UNION SHOP!
And If I was the Cop ... NO WAY would I be there...
“How can I share a beer with ONE that called me STUPID and another who called me RACIST? AFTER an apology from both ... THEN maybe... just MAYBE.. I’d go for that beer.”
Gone from can do no wrong to can do no wright.
If Barack is drinking light beer he might as well just pour it in the toilet and cut out the middle man.
Gates opts for the beer brewed by folks who aren’t white.
Thank you!! I wish officer Crowley would have said ‘no thank you, I was just doing my job...you know, as a PROFESSIONAL.”
Well I’m not a beer fan really. But do enjoy a Oberon (local brew) in season and a Sol when golfing.
Does everything Zero does have to demean the office of the presidency? Will he not just sit down and STHU?
Note, the officers name is not mentioned as to promote (in good humor) the other clowns.
Also, “the officer” is bringing his union rep and dept. lawyer.
HA! Farce!!
For Obama and the Learned Professor, I recommend;
Blended American Whiskey
The blended American Whiskey should not be confused with the blended Scottish whisky. Blended American whiskey only contains 20 percent of Rye and Bourbon whiskey; the remaining 80 percent are made up of a neutral mass-produced industrial spirit. As a result, American blended whiskey is very cheap. It is also much lighter than for example Tennessee and Bourbon whiskies.
Better question is will Obama wear his Mom Jeans?
Absolutely. They have nothing to say to one another. Barry the Clown had no business in this, but this demonstrates how state-run media calls the shots.
I hate this stupid “beer summit”. Even fox is getting in on it. Obama worsened relations between cops and African Americans and the media talks about the stupid phone “summit”. How I wish Crowley would use the opportunity to publicly chastise Obama and Gates, but obviously I’m fantasizing. Liberals will not admit that Obama and his team have used race to win the WH. That’s exactly what they did. And guess what they are going to call Palin if she runs? Racist. Because some idiot at a rally had too many and yelled something.
I think though we can count on her to point out all of this, she ain’t shy. Sorry about the rant, I’m po’d and Obama makes me sick. Maybe he will go to the bathroom and fall in.
