Gates told the Globe yesterday in an e-mail... he’s partial to Red Stripe and Beck’s. He may not get his pick, as they are foreign beers, which are not stocked at the White House, under a tradition dating to the Johnson administration.

Dirty elitist! At least Crowley drinks all-American Blue Moon (a Belgian-style faux-Canadian beer).
I wonder if the White House serves Budweiser these days.
(Sorry. I expended any energy I had for saying serious things about this topic a while ago)
