New commemorative beer-The Governator Ale-deemed "fabulous" and "incredible" by Republicans and Democrats alike! Thirty-five million Californians are getting their first taste of The Governator - a new beer commemorating the Golden State's 38th governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Brewed and bottled by Pumping Iron Brewing Company, The Governator Ale comes in a strapping, 22-ounce bottle adorned with a flexing beau, paying homage to the Austrian-born bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-governor.

Released in time for New Years, The Governator will be available in California through the end of spring for approximately $2.99 a bottle.

"The big surprise is that The Governator, behind its novelty packaging, is actually top-notch," says Pumping Iron Brewing spokesperson Jerome Chicvara. "We're hoping this is a sign of things to come in Sacramento."

The Governator Ale is a craft-brewed ESB (extra special bitter) styled after England's finest "session" beers. The ale is easy-drinking, well-hopped and a bit stronger in alcohol than most craft beers.

The Governator Ale already has fans among Democrats and Republicans, and the success has Chicvara thinking about making another Arnold-inspired brew called "I'll Be Bock."

Since we could not locate the bottles in a store near us, Kathy W. Lommen, the Compliance Manager of the brewing company, was nice enough to send TheArnoldFans the artwork for the beer label. Now if they will just send us a case of Governator Ale we can get this party started! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!



Thanks to Andrei Bogovich for first telling us of the beer!
