SUPPORT YOUR CANDIDATE - DRINK A BEER

Brilliant idea from a California brewery. Half Moon Bay Brewery Company on the Northern California coast is selling an ale. One says Obama and the other McCain. In this mock election held by the brewery, ale sold at the brewery encourages voters to vote early and vote ofter. At the brewery Obama and McCain figures are on separate tap handles. The ales are the same with one being lighter in content and the other is aged a long time. They are the same with one being the beer that the company normally produces only now it has a different label.
So far the Obama ale is outselling the McCain ale. Obama 6,170 bottles to McCain's 1,729. As well as selling pints at the brewery they are also distributing bottles to stores. So if you are undecided drink both until you get drunk and don't care who wins.
If you are curious about the "alection" as they call it, log onto http://hmbbrewingco.com/beer/alection.php to follow the alection results.
