Homebrewers petition Obama to release White House Honey Ale recipe

I hope all of the likes I got for my post are because they realize this is what I meant.

 

Don't cry bro.

 

I'd like to see the recipe but I don't think I would brew it.

 

I'll hazard a wild guess and say that if it does get released, people will be sorely disappointed with a generic recipe, only with White House honey that they can never get.

 

I'd rather have one of the WH glasses and a bottle with the label on it. Wonder if the caps have a design?

 

Caught the very tail end of the story on the noon news ,so I googled it . Looks like the petition made the new york times blog.

1) The website was set up so people can create a petition about anything. Only petitions with 25k signatures are addressed, and even then they are typically ignored.

2) Why not? It was created with tax money. The creator was paid with tax money and it was brewed with ingredients paid for with tax money. I'm paid with tax money and my emails and personal files at work are fair game.

3) Who knows, who cares?

Lighten up. The last few presidents have shown they have the ability to disengage and relax. I'd prefer my politicians be normal human beings with interests that extend beyond politics and the ability to step away. It makes for more balanced human beings and more reasonable responses.

 

Hope the petition works, The Whitehouse beer should be made available to all of us. Ingredients may be paid for by the President, but the workers making it are paid by US.

 

Signed

 

Signed.

 

I bet the beer isn't even all that good.

 

then throw it in some type of oak barrel and lock it up for a year or two

 

I would imagine it's probably a very BMC-friendly beer with very little "offensive" flavor. When they release it, I may give it a go, but would certainly want to alter the recipe to my preferences, which kind of defeats the purpose.

 

The Obama Foodarama blog reported last night that Press Secretary Jay Carney says that the
White House Promises To Unveil Homebrew Beer Recipe If Petition Gets Required Signatures

 

Gotta love the entitlement that comes from something like this. Just because I'm American, means I have the right to know. *facepalm*

That said, I wouldn't mind trying some of this when the recipe gets released.

 

Perhaps it is just me, but whenever a beer has "honey" in its title I end up not liking it too much. Every single time I've tried a beer that has a special honeyed up analog, I like the original about 10 times more.

I like honey by itself, too.

 

Nope, you forgot your <sarcasm> tag

 

Yeah I really should have used it.

 

I would try it. I've never brewed with honey, so why not have a great story to go with it? At the very least, it'll look great next to that can of Billy Beer.
