The Obama effect

I have a web site for my pub, of course. Because of my location Internet publicity is extremely important to me. I check the web stats for the pub site daily, and sometimes several times a day. Today I was worried. Normally, there are fluctuations in the hit number due to work times and lunch times, night times and such things but it stays reasonably high all day. Today at tea time there was an unusual dip. I thought my web site had gone down, but checking it was still there.

I've only just realised; Obama was sworn in 5pm GMT today. I think it's been a long time since I've seen the day time hits drop that low.

On the subject of that great country across the pond, I've found a bottle of something in the cellar. It's rather nice but has no label. It's a 22oz bottle of something hoppy. It tastes significantly of oranges to me. It's also bottle conditioned, and I should have been slightly more careful pouring it as there are bits in the glass. It's very nice but I'd like to know what it is. 

The man who brought it here reads this blog. There are at least two other readers of this blog that might know what it is. The only distinguishing mark is the bottle top, shown here. Anybody any idea?
