Schwarzenegger Inspires `Governator' Beer
Arnold Scwarzenegger isn't the first actor to become governor of California -- but he's probably the first California governor to have a beer brewed in his honor.
The so-called "Governator Ale" made by Portland, Oregon-based Pumping Iron Brewing Company, has just gone on sale in California, coming in a 22-ounce bottle with a label depicting a pumped up man flexing his back muscles "a la" Arnold.
It's called "Governator" beer -- and Portland Brewing Co. CEO Jerome Chicvara says he was surprised that no California brewer thought of it first.
The brewing veteran says the 3,200 cases bearing the Pumping Iron label are a humorous tribute to the 38th governor of California, "Terminator" actor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
