Gov. Whitmer sends Bell's beer care package to 'SNL' star Cecily Strong

Well, one thing's for certain: Cecily Strong won't hold the wrong beer ever again when portraying Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

You may recall last week Strong played the role of the Michigan governor during a "Saturday Night Live" sketch that didn't make the live airing but was posted online after. The State of Michigan took notice — and so did Whitmer, who told Fox 2 that she found it funny, but took issue with Strong holding a Labatt Blue rather than a Michigan-made beer.

"We love Canada, but we drink Michigan beer," Whitmer said, holding a Bell's Two Hearted Ale.

Turns out, Whitmer took it a step further: She sent Strong a "care package" of Michigan beer and goodies, all from Comstock-based Bell's Brewery, the largest and perhaps most recognizable independent craft brewery in the state.

And Strong loved it.

"Got a giant and gorgeous Michigan care package sent to New York courtesy of that super cool woman from Michigan," Strong wrote on Instagram. "Thank you @gewhitmer !!! Honestly, this blew me away!"

The beers include Two Hearted Ale (of course), along with Light Hearted Ale, Oberon and Official, a hazy IPA.

One of those beers should do the trick next time Strong portrays Whitmer during an "SNL" sketch. Cheers!
