UPDATE: Details about the Obama, McCain ales from Half Moon Bay Brewing

The McCain Ale and Obama Ale being sold by Half Moon Bay Brewing Co. at the pub on the San Mateo Coast and online, are identical, Half Moon Bay Master Brewer Alec Moss says.

“They’re both light ales, they’re our regular Harbor Light Ale,” Alec says. “They’re 4.8 percent alcohol (ABV), brewed with German pale malt and Czech hops. They’re fermented with an ale yeast, but at a lower temperature than a regular ale, so they’re less estery than an ordinary ale, but they’re definitely ales.”

Sounds good to me.
