Baracktoberfest beer

Baracktoberfest beer
As if I didn't already love our St. Louis local brewery, Schlafly, the election versions of their beers have won me over completely. Baracktoberfest is not your only choice. You can also choose from McCain's Maverick APA Ale, Palin Ale, and Hefebiden Unfiltered Wheat Ale. You can view photos of all four bottle labels on STL Hops.

The beer selection, however, does bring up all kinds of difficult decisions. If I prefer the taste of Maverick APA Ale, but I'm an Obama supporter (hypothetically, of course), do I buy the Baracktoberfest just to show my support, or do I get the beer I like?

I was recently told about study at Washington University where a group made both elephant and donkey cookies to see which ones the students would buy more of. It turns out that students bought more elephants simply because they were bigger - smart students. I suppose that, given the choice, I would take a lesson from the college kids and drink the beer I liked. I could always remove and crumple (tear to shreds) the label.

Would you buy based on your beer of choice or your politician of choice?

As a minority, I'm ashamed that the first minority candidate for president has a racist hate monger for a pastor (Jeremiah Wright), works with an unrepentant Terrorist (William Ayers) and when anyone stands up to this lies, they face prosecution from "truth" squads.
