THE Prime Minister has delivered a beer brewed in his Witney constituency to Barack Obama after the two made a football World Cup bet.

David Cameron and the US President exchanged beers from their native countries after a wager on the outcome of the England v USA group match.

As the game ended in a draw, they each brought a beer when they met in Toronto for the G20 summit at the weekend.

Mr Cameron chose Hobgoblin beer, made by the Wychwood Brewery, in The Crofts, Witney, while Mr Obama presented Mr Cameron with Goose Island 312, from his home town of Chicago.

Ian Ward, Wychwood Brewery marketing manager, said: “It’s great that David Cameron thought Hobgoblin was a sociable beer, we don’t just share Hobgoblin with anybody. It’s good that there is the potential for a special relationship.”

The Prime Minister visited the Witney brewery, which also makes King Goblin and Scaregrow, during his election campaign in May.
