Beer battle?

President Barack Obama now owes Prime Minister Stephen Harper a case of beer.

Obama made the friendly wager with Harper before Sunday's U.S.-Canada gold medal game. Canada beat the United States 3-2 on Sidney Crosby's overtime goal.

Obama had a case of Yuengling, a Pennsylvania regional brew, riding on the game. Harper wagered a case of Molson Canadian.

The beer battle pitted Canada's oldest brewery against the oldest beer maker in the United States. Molson Canada is now a subsidiary of Molson Coors Brewing Co., a marriage of Molson and Denver-based Coors.

I would have chosen an independent brewery like Moosehead.

shameful. Molson??? It's not even really Canadian any more. He could/should have offered up a case from one of the great microbreweries out West.
