Former President Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were spotted at a brewery in Ottawa, Ontario, on Friday.
The pair, who were known to have a close working relationship during Obamas tenure in the White House, were pictured on social media with beers and bites in hand at the brewery.
Trudeau shared a picture of the two on Twitter on Saturday morning, and the Big Rig Brewery posted several images of the meeting on its Instagram page. It was not immediately clear what the two discussed.
Obama delivered a speech to thousands of attendees in Ottawa on Friday night, where he weighed in on life after his presidency and remarked about having "a little bit of a love affair with Canada," according to the CBC.

(43,532 posts)one drink.
I also would give up beer in a heartbeat if Bud Light or any other industrial beer were all there was, lolol. I grew up in London, so American mass produced was never a thing. My father was a sommelier whilst he worked his way though some of his uni, so I became a snob of all things alcoholic growing up.
Cheers!

(67,782 posts)Back in the 1970s customers in bars HAD to be seated to drink. If you were served at the bar and wanted to change seats, you had to get a waiter to carry your drink to another seat. That's all changed now.
Even today, Americans with DWI convictions are not permitted in the country. That's why I was surprised they allowed george bush to visit when he was president - I guess they gave him an exemption.

(9,654 posts)maybe it will trick my brain into thinking that they are both still in charge, not just one of them.
My poor brain can't take much more. I can't sleep at night, and I know why.
