Because obviously they've never had real beer out there. Do people in Portland even know what beer tastes like?

Our governor's make a bet.

When Wisconsin wins Governor Kitzhaber will send a care package with a selection of Oregon’s best craft beers (from all corners of Oregon), Kettle Chips (produced in Salem), Oregon Hazelnuts and Smoked King Salmon to Wisconsin to highlight just a few of the great products Oregon has to offer.

In the unfortunate event that Wisconsin places second, Governor Walker will send a care package of Leinenkugel's beer (produced in the Chippewa Valley), authentic Wisconsin cheese, a package of Andes mints (produced in Governor Walker’s hometown of Delevan), and a bottle of Blushing Rose Wine from Wollersheim Winery in Prairie du Sac.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Miller (owner of Leinenkugel's) is a big supporter of Governor Walker...

Dear Governor Kitzhaber (and the rest of Oregon),

Please don't take Leinenkugel's as indicative of what Wisconsin's craft beer scene is like. I'm embarrassed that our governor might *actually* have to send it, and so I'll put together a small package of *actual* Wisconsin beer. Maybe you have some slugs in your garden you can kill with the Leini's?

I'm pretty sure I've bought Leinenkugel in P-town. Don't worry, its still not as bad as Rainier, The Kitz could do worse.

Even our slugs wouldn't touch that crap.

It'll be wasted on them..... Send it to me!
