PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- It's called "Governator" beer -- and Portland Brewing Co. CEO Jerome Chicvara says he was surprised that no California brewer thought of it first.

The brewing veteran says the 3,200 cases bearing the Pumping Iron label are a humorous tribute to the 38th governor of California, "Terminator" actor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The label had to be approved by both federal and state agencies.

A spokesman for Schwarzenegger said nobody in the governor's office had noticed the beer, but they would check on it.

Chicvara said the idea came to him while kidding around with his college-age kids and their friends, who like many had morphed the words "governor" and "terminator" into "governator."

being the divine drink that it is, they could call beer Arnold's Sweat, and (as long as that was not one of the ingredients), I would quaff many, if the quality is to par...

7. Jack Handy...

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."
