This was our beer for the 20th. Inauguration day!! Avery brewed this beer in celebration of this amazing, historic, awesome, long awaited day. The label has this great sentiment on it: "Ale to the Chief! We the Brewers of Avery Brewing Company, in order to form a more perfect ale, require new leadership that can liberate us from our quagmires in foreign lands; embrace environmentally sound energy alternatives to imported oil; heal our ailing healthcare system; free us from tyrannical debt and resurrect the collapsing dollar. We hereby pledge to provide him with an ample amount of our Presidential Pale Ale to support in the struggle for the aforementioned goals! Hail to the New Chief!"
Although I was excited by the concept of the beer, I was secretly dreading drinking this beer because it was a pale ale that they had added extra hops to, and I really don't like pale ales. But then we picked up some fried chicken from Mr. Chicken and I figured perhaps the bitterness might go well with the delicious greasiness of the chicken. I was wrong, sure enough the beer was terrible. Jordan thought it was ok for the first half of his first sip and then it just had a bad aftertaste that ruined that sip. It only got worse as we drank more. After two sips I was done with it and Jordan was done soon after. It was a big beer and we felt bad about it, but we poured the rest out. Neither of us really had any interest in finishing it. I guess by default this one gets a 0 out of the five members of the Obama family (including Grandma Robinson).
