It's a Belgian Pale Ale brewed by Molson. It can be had very easily in most places in North America; it tends not to show up in specialty places. Many women I know put a slice of orange in it.

I think it's funny that they try to hide the fact that it's brewed by Molson Coors, out of fear that it will hurt the beer's reputation.

It's a decent beer to have every once in a while, if the bar/restaurant doesn't serve anything better.

To make both men feel more at home, I think I would have chosen to drink a Sam Adams

There are so often bars where there isn't anything better! How does that work, exactly?

There is an "Obamanator" beer at the Wynkoop Brewery in Denver. It's tasty!

I know, it's annoying - I don't think Blue Moon is bad, really, but if I'm going to spend 4, 5, or 6 bucks (or more) for a beer , I just want it to be something better. At least give me a Sam Adams seasonal or something like that. Plus there's the problem that I then decide to go the "whiskey on the rocks" route instead, and that just adds up to a bit of a longer night.

Boston (especially) and CT, luckily, have a bunch of bars with fairly good beer selections.
