The Canadian prime minister says Obama has lots bets before, and always paid up. W.H. plans to make good on beer bet

The beer is on its way.

President Barack Obama will make good Monday on his Olympics hockey bet with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper by sending two “freshly brewed” cases of White House beer to the Canadian Embassy.


“On behalf of POTUS, enjoy and congrats on the Canadian victory (this time around)! Look forward to a rematch,” the National Security Council press staff wrote in a Twitter post Friday.

The Canadian Embassy will receive a case each of Honey Porter and Honey Blonde made with honey from first lady Michelle Obama’s garden, according to NSC aides.

“Thank you! We’re thirsty and ready for delivery! @pmharper We promise only a few bottles will be missing :) #beerdiplomacy,” the Canadian Embassy responded on Twitter.

The White House moved on the wager after Harper told a Toronto radio station Friday that he had yet to receive the beer — two weeks after the U.S. men’s and women’s hockey teams had lost to Canada.

“But in fairness to President Obama, he’s lost bets to me before, and he’s always paid up before,” Harper said, according to a Reuters report. ” … I’m sure he will [pay up].”
