Obama: Ale to the Chief

A Scottish brewer has been running an online contest to allow its fans and customers to pick ingredients and a name for a new beer. While some Scottish soccer fans apparently have tried to hijack the contest and have the beer named after their favorite players, several online readers have suggested a beer  name with a decidedly American slant: Ale to the Chief, in honor of President-elect Barack Obama. Said brewery director James Watt: “We had quite a few suggestions from the U.S. for Ale to the Chief, which is a nice touch, and quite flattering for Obama that people want to name things after him already — it shows the impact that he’s had.”

Watt said the wacky soccer-player-name ideas aren’t going to make the finals.
