Turner bests LA counterpart in World Series beer bet

The mayoral bet over the World Series, a fall tradition as banal as a ballpark hot dog, took a sour turn this year when Los Angeles' chief executive stepped into an emotionally fraught debate over what is considered a local beer.
On Tuesday, Hizzoner Eric Garcetti pledged on Twitter to send Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner a "uniquely L.A. meal" should the Astros take the best-of-seven series from the Dodgers. He wagered Korean barbecue from a local food truck and beer from Golden Road Brewing Co.
That latter choice turned what could have been a harmless photo opp into a fizzy flap with the Los Angeles County Brewers Guild.
