Just Some Guys Having a Beer

The big Presidential Beer Summit (oops President Obama said it's just guys meeting and having a beer) is done and we've all survived. It was interesting to see so many people get worked up for various reasons concerning the White House gathering. The beer fanatics, bloggers, brewers, and brewery owners, along with the rest of America all had a view point on what the the President (Bud Light), the professor (Sam Adams Light), the police officer (Blue Moon) and the Vice President (Buckler, non alcoholic beer) should have in their mugs. Mad over the choice of Bud (that's me), just happy it was beer, upset that it was beer, didn't think drinking was a good idea, yadda, yadda, yadda, were all part of the massive sea of opinions. It was great to see beer cause such a media stir even if the type of beer was of little importance. Better communication and an understanding of others is what we all need to focus on. I think the President got it right. Having a beer and a little conversation is a good way to work out our differences even if we agree to disagree. Cheers!
