Oh my…the hits just keep on comin’…Now Alec Moss, head brewer at Half Moon Bay Brewing Co. out on the San Mateo Coast has gotten involved in the election.

He’s produced both an Obama Ale and a McCain Ale. They’re both traditional light English ales – knowing Alec, I guess “light” means light in color, not strength. They’re being sold in four packs at the brewpub and are on top there as well.

You can buy them on line for $3.75 a 22. oz. bottles, in 4-packs only. Each online purchase is a vote for the candidate of your choice. At the moment,m thre have been 1,920 purchases of the Obama Ale and 16 purchases of the McCain ale. Why so many Obama purchases?

Obama supporters bought the first 2,000 to distribute at the Democratic National Convention this week in Denver.

“We wanted to make sure the election process will still had a bit of fun and light-heartedness, so we created our version of a brewery election,” said Half Moon Bay Brewing Company Director of Marketing Wayne Meyer. “We will be tracking the purchase of the Obama and McCain Ales individually and posting it on our Web site each week to see who is in the lead. Vote at the brewery, vote early and vote often is what we like to say.”
