Somehow, I don't believe John F. Thurston al-Kerry III really would be comfortable having an "Imp and an Ahrn" (a boilermaker of Imperial whiskey and Iron City Beer) with his newfound millworker buddies dahn at a Sahsside tavern. He'd pretend to sip an IC Light, then run to the bus to rinse out his mouth with Veuve Cliquot.

After the Beloit event, Kerry's day was filled with the kind of Wisconsin backdrops one would expect from a presidential visit. In fact, Kerry did one thing for the cameras that you won't see his opponent do: He drank beer, and Bush stopped drinking years ago. On a visit to the Joseph Huber Brewing Co. in Monroe, Kerry sipped a richly hued Berghoff Famous Red Ale, and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, sampled a lighter Solstice Wit Bier.
Moments earlier, the two stopped at Baumgartner's bar and cheese store in Monroe, a visit prompted by Teresa Heinz Kerry's enthusiasm for what she called "stinky cheese." [That's why she married Effin] She ordered a Limburger sandwich with raw onions and mustard on rye, and a pound of Limburger to go. [The better to keep Effin away from her]
In the bar, Kerry chatted with patrons, signs overhead proclaiming, "Limburger, Don't Eat It With Your Nose." Maps of Switzerland and Wisconsin decorated another wall. full story
