Some frosty suds will soon be en route to the north after President Barack Obama lost an Olympics hockey bet made with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
While the U.S. lost out on gold, now Obama is losing two cases of White House beer.
Friday, the National Security Council shot out a few tweets letting the Canadians know the bet is going to be settled.
Hey, @connect2canada! Look forward to delivering two freshly brewed cases of WH beer on Monday for @pmharper from POTUS.

Beer will be one case Honey Porter and one case Honey Blonde – made w/White House honey from @FLOTUS garden.

On behalf of POTUS, enjoy and congrats on the Canadian victory (this time around)! Look forward to a rematch.

And of course, the Canadians are thrilled. And thirsty.
@NSCPress Thank you! We're thirsty and ready for delivery! @pmharper We promise only a few bottles will be missing :) #beerdiplomacy
