There have been more than a few beer-related stories on the campaign trail and it’s fun to report that the chant “four more beers” is gaining popularity on the Obama campaign trail. Today he bought beers in Iowa for 10 people (details here), but not if they were carrying Romney signs. Base don all the photos I’ve seen, I’m not sure how much Bud Light is paying for product placement, but in any case at least it’s beer and they’re not chanting “four more wines.” 
This from the DesmoinesRegister:
If you want to ride President Barack Obama’s motorcoach, be advised: it’s BYOB.
In perhaps the most startling revelation so far in Obama’s three-day bus tour across Iowa, it was revealed this morning that the White House brews its own beer, and that the presidential bus is stocked with bottles of that beer.
The revelation came incidentally, when a man at the Knoxville coffee shop where Obama stopped today somehow got the president onto the subject of beer, and Obama noted that a sample of the White House’s home brew was just outside.
Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters that Obama gave the man a full bottle of said beer, retrieved from the bus.
In a press gaggle a short time later, White House Spokesman Jay Carney took several questions about the beer, some which he could answer, others he could not.
The beer comes in two varieties, light and dark, Carney said. He has personally sampled the lighter brew, and declared it “refreshing.”
“It is superb,” he said. “It is quite good.”
Does the president himself drink the beer? Indeed he does, Carney said.
