President Barack Obama tilted back a glass of the dark Irish brew Saturday, observing St. Patrick's Day at a boisterous Irish pub with his ancestral cousin from Moneygall, Ireland, at his side.
At the White House, the main South Lawn Fountain burbled green water. Nearby, workers prepared for a visit Tuesday by the Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny.
The first family was putting on its Irish, a blood line that runs through Obama's veins.
Obama took his motorcade to the Dubliner Restaurant and Pub on a dazzling Saturday afternoon. He wore no Kelly green but his jacket was pierced with a button that read, "VIP GUEST Tell `em Danny sent you." The president waded into a crowd some in leprechaun hats and others in dyed green hair at the entrance of the tavern near Washington's landmark Union Station.

Seriesly. When he visited Ireland, Faux reported* that he was "chugging forties of Guinness".

That's pretty nice, all things considered.

But it will NOT be Guinness - I hate the stuff. It will be Spotted Cow from the New Glarus brewery in Wisconsin.

You're lucky! I still want to try some New Glarus, but it's harder to get than Three Floyds. At least I could find some of that in Ohio a couple of weeks ago.

and I don't like beer, I worship it! Went to a new tavern last night in Garfield, NJ called "Three Wise Monks", they had some nice stuff on tap there, and I killed the keg of Founders Stout.
