Obama Suggests Guthrie Drink Beer During Their ‘Today Show’ Interview

‘Enjoy the beer — you should finish it before our full interview, then it would go smoother’

GUTHRIE: "Are we going to try this beer or what?" 
OBAMA: "This is the honey ale." 
GUTHRIE: "Okay." 
OBAMA: "Made from honey from Michelle's garden. That's how this originally came about. Somebody in the Navy mess figured out you can make beer using honey. So let's taste it. It's been well reviewed." 
GUTHRIE: "Has it?" 
OBAMA: "Absolutely. See what you think." 
GUTHRIE: "I'll take a tiny sip. Quick game or either/or while we're having this beer. Football or basketball?" 
OBAMA: "I'm still a basketball guy, but I love football." 
GUTHRIE: "Offense or defense?" 
OBAMA: "Always offense." 
GUTHRIE: "Wings or chips and guac." 
OBAMA: "That's tough. I'm going to go with chips and guac. I'm a fanatic about guac." 
GUTHRIE: "Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden?"
OBAMA: "Love them both. Good try, though." 
GUTHRIE: "Had to try."
OBAMA: "Enjoy the beer. You should finish it before our full interview, then it would go smoother." 
GUTHRIE: "I don't think that will happen, but welcome for the tease. We'll talk about ISIS and whether it's really on the run, that's coming up tomorrow on 'Today.'"
