It's nearly convention time, and as conventioneers prepare to descend upon Denver and Minneapolis, local breweries are readying special beers honoring the candidates.
In Denver, Wynkoop Brewing Company has created Obamanator, a dark, German-style Maibock lager sure to pair well with Wynkoop's buffalo meatloaf or hearty stout-braised pot roast. Denver's oldest brewpub is just a couple blocks from the Westin Tabor Center and the convention center.
In Minneapolis, Great Water Brewing is serving a Golden Oat Pale (G.O.P., get it?) at its brewpub, which is within easy reach of the Four Points by Sheraton Minneapolis. Flat Earth Brewing Company is producing Convention Ale, a Belgian-style red ale which features both an elephant and a donkey on the label; look for it at bars and restaurants near the convention center. Be a good citizen reporter and let us know, what conventional beer do you prefer?
