What’s the best remedy for a hard week on the campaign trail? For most candidates, it might be a trip to the bar for a nice, refreshing beer—but not for Senator Lindsey Graham.

With current poll numbers at an even 1 percent, Graham knows he needs to appeal to more young voters (and old voters—all voters, actually). And apparently, his Halloween-themed “Who Is the Scariest Democrat?” contest isn’t going as well as he hoped:

So when CNN asked Graham to participate in an awkward campaign tradition at a Boulder, Colo. bar Tuesday night, who was he to refuse?

As the Senator prepped for Wednesday’s second-tier Republican debate, he stopped by Walnut Brewery with CNN reporter Dana Bash to serve up some drinks. Unfortunately, Graham is a terrible mixologist—as this picture from CNN proves:

Instead of serving up a traditional, American, beer-filled pint, Graham seems to have poured a shot of beer and topped it with 15 ounces of foam.

This wasn’t a one-time mistake either. According to the Huffington Post, Graham repeated the flub throughout the night. After an especially bad pour, he blithely asked, “Who wants this one?”—and there were no takers in the entire bar.

When user ericdavidmorris shared a link to CNN’s picture with Reddit’s Beer community, the brewers gave a harsh review of Graham’s technique:

User BigStormBrewingCo even referred to Graham as “the old college freshman.”

Apparently the Senator didn’t think much of his snafu at the tap. In the debate the following night, he bragged, “Now, if you’re looking for good beer policy, I’m your best bet. My dad owned the bar.”

After a polite laugh from the audience, Graham adds, “I know beer.”

This statement prompted one redditor to encourage the Senator to join an online group just for people who have attained the “Lindsey Graham” level of bartending expertise: Reddit’s very own Shitty Beer Pours community.
