Obama Campaign Bus Stocks Beer Brewed in White House
One of the more interesting developments during this year’s presidential campaign is the news that President Obama stocks homemade beer to enjoy on the campaign trail. Given the extraordinary security measures and amenities inside the president’s campaign bus, you couldn’t call it a party bus. Yet, we were pleasantly surprised to learn of his fondness for homebrews. During a recent stop at a coffee shop in Knoxville, Iowa, Mr. Obama chatted with a man, and when the conversation drifted to beer, the man was very pleasantly surprised with the president and offered him a cold one from his private supply.
When the press corps learned about the president’s offer, they asked White House spokesman Jay Carney a flurry of questions about what kind of beers were available. Carney reported that White House brew masters brew light and dark beers for the president and confessed that he had tried the lighter beer and found that “it is superb.”
The Obamas served their White House Honey Ale, made with honey from the first lady’s hives in the White House garden, at last year’s Super Bowl party. Insiders say that the president also served White House Honey Ale last September to Medal of Honor recipient Marine Sergeant Dakota Meyer, who had requested to have a beer with his Commander in Chief. Presidents Washington and Jefferson also made their own brews, but Mr. Obama is believed to be the first president to brew at the White House.
Here at NLS Limo, we like a well crafted beer as well. We enjoy drinking one or two after a day or evening of transporting our guests, and we enjoy stocking our San Francisco party buses and luxury coaches with our guests’ favorite beers for concerts, weddings, sporting events and other special occasions.
We may be San Francisco’s premier limousine service, but we never lose sight of the fact that we are in the hospitality business. We go to great lengths to help our guests get the most from their experience in our party buses, luxury coaches, limousines or other luxury ground transportation. Want to surprise your friends and family with their favorite beers and other adult beverages during their San Francisco party bus or luxury coach rental? Simply call us at NLS Limo today at 800-339-8936 to let us know what you would like! We will do whatever we can to make it happen!
Bay Area Bachelor Party Limousine Rental Tips
Are you getting married soon or have you been tasked with organizing a friend’s bachelor party? In either case, you’re going to have to do some homework to ensure that you and your guests have a great time on this momentous occasion. Because we are in the bachelor party limo business, we thought we would pass along some party tips to help make your party safe, fun and very memorable. To that end, here are some tips to help make planning your San Francisco bachelor party limo experience easy:
- Make your reservation as early as practical
We understand that bachelor parties can be spontaneous affairs, but in order to get the best selection, reserve your transportation as early as practical. This will also allow us plenty of time to accommodate any requests to customize your bachelor party experience. - Reserve the right type of transportation
Some bachelor party guests are traditionalists, and only a stretch limousine will do. Others who prefer a bit more headroom and legroom like our party buses or SUV limos. Some of our party bus models also happen to feature stripper poles, a useful item for many bachelor parties. - Add a sporting event
Make a full day of it by taking in a baseball, football, hockey or basketball game. It’s your job to make the groom’s last days as a bachelor extra special, and enjoying a game together is sure to create memories that last a lifetime. - Start the evening off with a good dinner
After the game, head to a favorite restaurant or someone’s back yard for a barbecue. Everyone loves great food, and it’s a very good idea to eat a good dinner before enjoying an adult beverage or three. - Have fun, but be safe
We want our guests to have a great time, but we also want everyone to get home safely without any complications. We know that it is very easy for bachelor party participants to lose track of their alcohol consumption and get a bit more festive than they had planned. Look out for yourself and each other so that everyone has a good time.
That’s a short list of bachelor party limo rental tips, but we think we covered some very good points. When you’re ready to reserve your Bay Area limousine, party bus, SUV limo or other bachelor party transportation, just give us a call at NLS Limo at 800-339-8936. We’ll take care of the rest!
Tragic Accident Spurs Legislator to Rally Support for Party Bus Law
California Assemblyman Jerry Hill recently renewed his call for tough laws against party buses after a young woman fell from a party bus and was killed in a tragic accident near Santa Cruz. The 25-year-old victim was reportedly fighting with another woman on board the bus when their struggles opened a door, causing the victim to fall onto Highway 17, where she was struck and killed. Calling party buses “booze cruises,” Hill asked fellow lawmakers to pass AB 45, the bill he introduced 18 months ago. If passed, the bill would close a loophole in an existing law, which holds chauffeurs responsible for underage drinking in limousines but has no provisions for drivers of party buses.
“The problem is, and the sad part is, that there are those operators who are just in it for a quick buck,” Hill says. “And they will take anybody on a ride and charge them what they can and allow them to do what they want without the responsibility of what can occur.”
Hill claims that if legislators had passed his bill when it was introduced, the tragic death of the Santa Cruz woman could have been avoided. The bill has already been passed in the California Assembly and is under review in the Senate. If passed, the law would subject chauffeurs that allow underage drinking to be fined up to $2,000 for each infraction, with the possibility of losing their driver’s licenses.
Whether this law is passed or not, it won’t change our policy on underage drinking or our approach to guest safety. We have stated many times that a very small minority of Bay Area party bus rental companies are responsible for the vast majority of incidences of drunken and rowdy behavior outside clubs and other locations. We work with other San Francisco party bus services to promote responsible guest policies and keep our guests’ party bus experiences fun and safe. Guest safety is our first priority at all times, and we explain our rules to guests before each rental. If you want to have a memorable San Francisco party bus experience that is safe, fun and affordable, please call us today at NLS Limo at 800-339-8936 to make a reservation for your special occasion.
The Top Five Reasons to Rent a San Francisco Party Bus This Summer
Here in the Bay Area, summertime is on the cool side close to the ocean but plenty hot just a few miles inland. Our San Francisco party buses are similar in that they are plenty hot to look at and be seen in but delightfully cool and comfortable on the inside with climate control, smokin’ sound systems, flat-screen TVs, wet bars and other luxury amenities. If those plush amenities aren’t enough to get your creative juices flowing and rent one of our limos for an outing with friends and family, here are the top five reasons to rent our Bay Area limos and party buses this summer:
Wisconsin Tour Bus Company Offers Party Bus Craft Beer Tours
A recent story out of Wisconsin gave us a bolt of inspiration on how we can accommodate craft beer lovers with our San Francisco party buses. Hop Head Brewery, a Wisconsin-based craft brewer with a passionate following among Midwestern beer lovers, has created a new branch of the business to stir sales and make sure beer lovers can imbibe to their hearts’ content and get home safely. The Hop Head Beer Tour Company recently opened for business, and, judging by participation and enthusiasm, this idea is a hit with Wisconsinites who seek the best in malt-based beverages.
Rent a Bay Area Party Bus for Your St. Paddy’s Day Pub Crawl!
Pub crawls on St. Patrick’s Day are a tradition going back for many Bay Area residents. After all, how can an Irishman, Irishwoman or anyone hoping to be one at least for one day confine himself or herself to one or two bars on this traditional day of merriment? Miss all the festivities in our city’s many drinking establishments? Not a chance! Deal with driving, parking and all the attendant hassles of each? There’s no chance there either unless you want to spend most of your evening driving around while your friends are engaged in activities more consistent with the spirit of the day. Rather than relegate yourself to an evening of anguish behind the wheel, why not rent a San Francisco party bus from NLS Limo?
Proposed Law Targets Party Buses
A California lawmaker has proposed legislation that will close a loophole in an existing law and will make limousine companies responsible for underage drinking that goes on in their vehicles. Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, recently proposed Assembly Bill 45, also known as the Brett Studebaker Law, to be passed in the California state legislature. If passed, the law will require California limousine services, party bus operators and other group transportation companies classified as “carriers” to check the identification of all passengers and require anyone under 21 to sign an agreement not to drink while riding in the vehicle. Current state laws require chauffeurs to sign such an agreement before transporting passengers. If an underage passenger violates the terms of the agreement, the driver must terminate the contract and return all passengers to the point of origin.
