President Barack Obama owes his Canadian counterpart a case of
beer.
Obama made the friendly wager with Canadian Prime Minister
Stephen Harper before Sunday's U.S.-Canada gold medal game. Canada
beat the United States 3-2 on Sidney Crosby's overtime goal.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said President Barack
Obama had a case of Yuengling, a Pennsylvania regional brew, riding
on the game. Harper wagered 24 bottles of Molson. The beer battle
pitted Canada's oldest brewery against the oldest beer maker in the
United States. Molson Canada is now a subsidiary of Molson Coors
Brewing Co., a marriage of Molson and Denver-based Coors.
There was no word on where the cross-border exchange would
occur.
