The beer question is a thought experiment in American politics that attempts to measure authenticity and likability in politicians by asking or polling voters about with which politicians they would prefer to drink beer. The question has been discussed as far back as the 2000 United States presidential election, as well as in the context of fictional political works such as The West Wing. The question has been criticized for the gender bias implicit in referencing a predominantly male drinking culture, and some have questioned the relevance of likability in choosing candidates for public office.
