Fan of da Pope
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker was in Vatican City on Wednesday checking up on Chicago native son, Pope Leo XIV. Governor Pritzker, ever the gent, dropped in on the Pope bearing a gift.
Pritzker presented Pope Leo with a four-pack of a Chicago-brewed mild ale called "Da Pope," a beverage Pritzker apparently named himself after a Saturday Night Live skit. The mild ale is made by the "Burning Bush Brewery" of Chicago.
For connoisseurs and beer snobs, "Da Pope" is described thusly:
"The American mild ale appears dark but has a light body with a mix of malty flavors along with notes of caramel, toasted nuts nuts and fruit, and low alcohol content."
It sounds like the perfect beverage to wash down a stadium dog at a White Sox game on a hot summer afternoon!
The Holy Father seemed to appreciate the brewskis and told the visiting governor, "We'll put these in the fridge."
Coolest. Pope. Ever!
And Governor Pritzker ain't too shabby, either!
(I wonder what else is in da Pope's fridge?)

I think the plan was for each of them to have a couple of beers while watching football. Surely they were delivered in a cooler of ice.
