ST. PETERSBURG — Mike and Leigh Harting didn't know what to think Thursday when someone walked into their popular craft brewery, 3 Daughters, and asked if Hillary Clinton could drop by.


Best not to get involved in religion or politics, Mike Harting remembers thinking. "Too polarizing for everybody drinking our beer."

A few more phone calls and chats, and the Hartings, both Republicans, decided, why not? "This goes beyond politics. This is just, plain cool," said Mike, who has never voted for a Democrat for president.

After a flurry of activity over the weekend — multiple visits from Clinton's campaign and Secret Service team, and not a single question about their politics — the Democratic nominee strolled into the warehouse Monday.

Away from the cameras, Clinton gushed over and hugged the Hartings' daughters. Then she wandered through the building chatting with the couple among stacks of Rod Bender Red Ale and Bimini Twist IPA. Close behind, a scrum of reporters and photographers strained to eavesdrop.

"I was very impressed that she really listened to our challenges as a small business," said Leigh, who marveled at how the choreographed event felt spontaneous and substantive. "She was very gracious, and she's incredibly intelligent."

.........................




............The Republican 3 Daughters founders liked what they saw and heard — even though Clinton never did sample a beer. They did send her off with some cold ones.

"We're honored that the (next) president of the United states recognizes the best quality craft beer in the United States," quipped Scott Wagman, a 3 Daughters partner who was on hand. "We look forward to 3 daughters being served in the White House."

Did Clinton win over the Hartings?

They remain officially undecided.
