President Obama smiled, gave a look of intrigue — a lifted eyebrow and head nod — and shook my hand for a second or two longer than everyone else in the crowd.

Class act indeed.

so, the guy that runs the brewery is a foaf. he is an activist in the community and no small part of both the designation and the days celebration.
there is no way this guy had to put the bug in the pres' ear.
everybody knew about that beer.
and the way i hear it it was 20 cases.
