Magic Hat's new Participation Lager

If you’re (a geek) like some of us, watching a political debate can be as much of a kick as some people get from their Sunday afternoon NFL.  And as we romp into the final stretch of the presidential campaign, it’s time to start thinking about Friday night debate-watching libations.  I vote (pun intended) for Participation Lager.  Magic Hat has unveiled this election-season treat to “bring democracy back to its roots” by taking it to “the neighborhood taverns where America was born. It’s here that the Magic Hat staff intends to reach out to unregistered citizens of all starts and stripes and get each and every one excited about pouring some political action of a personal kind into the ballot box.”  Fun, though one hopes enthused beer drinkers take at least part of the message metaphorically (or is it just me for whom that last bit painted an odd mental picture?).   Magic Hat is partnered up with HeadCount.org to encourage and facilitate voter registration.  I found the beer big, spicy and crisp — perfect for autumn and the perfect accompaniment for an October debate in front of a roaring fire…  I’m looking forward to sharing a couple of twelve packs among an equal mix of Republican and Democrat friends and see well lubricated conversation ensue.  And all kidding aside, hats off to Magic Hat for killing two birds with one stone – encouraging civic participation and making a darn tasty beer!
