(AP) — In this Aug. 14, 2012 file photo, President Barack Obama stops for a beer at The Pump House, a pub and grill, in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

Obama and his team frequently talk about the president's fondness for beer, and Obama has been photographed many times downing a beer, including an appearance at the Iowa State Fair last month. Being identified as a beer drinker is an easy way for Obama to connect with votes and serves as a not-so-subtle reminder that his Republican rival Mitt Romney, a Mormon, doesn't drink.
