U.S.: Henry Louis Gates and James Crowley have another Beer Summit

  • No Obama was needed this time. “River Gods” in Cambridge is now a vapid landmark. Back in July, a much simpler time for our country, the president got in the middle of a festering racial tussle between Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates and police officer James Crowley. It became a massive, unlikely news story – the president drinking a beer with a couple of guys he built a media controversy around. At the time, the professor and the cop said they might meet up again. They appeared to do so last night at a Cambridge pub called “River Gods,” which we’re sure is loving the press. source

U.S.: Yo Obama: Bud Light sucks. Use this microbrew instead.

  • We’re reaching out quietly… We’re trying to network our way in. We’d love to be the beer at this event.
  • Harpoon Brewery co-founder Dan Kenary • On the company’s desire to use back-door channels to convince the powers that be to use his beer during the anticipated photo-op meeting between the president, Henry Louis Gates and James Crowley, the cop who arrested the Harvard scholar. The other two guys have a little taste – Gates will be reppin’ Red Stripe and Crowley has been known to dig Blue Moon, but President Obama for some reason insists on drinking Budweiser. Dude. We know you can do better. • source
