I’m not usually a “may I have my photo taken with you” kind of guy, but how often does a drinks writer get the chance to have his picture taken with the United States Ambassador to Canada, David Jacobson, AND the Stanley Cup? And just to give this post a beer reference, the Ambassador asked me to recommend a beer and I had him poured a Samuel Adams New World Tripel, a glass of which is sitting just off camera. He seemed to like it.

Now all you need is Big Foot or the Easter Bunny!
Are you suggesting the neither the Ambassador nor the Cup actually exists?
Holy crap, man. That’s not gratuitous, that’s mandatory. Very cool.
