Pity she wasn't more interested in the beer

He actually seemed a tiny bit bummed at how little regard she had for the beer. Guess we've all been there

Thats awesome, hes gotta be the coolest president they've ever had. His honey ale recipe is floating around on the net somewhere.

I saw this posted on reddit /r/homebrewing, they were disappointed that Obama didn't actually brew the beer himself and it was brewed by his kitchen staff

Once again Mr Pres shows how it's hard to say or do the wrong thing when you're surrounded by adoring staff and media stooges who couldn't be bothered asking the hard questions. He has charm though, gotta admit it.

I'd be surprised if his claim that it's the first time beer has been brewed in the White House since George Washington is true.

Those recipes are just malt extract, I think, which is disappointing.

Surely, it should have been made by his ale-wife?

They ferment in a cellar, which I believe is around 20C all year round

Pity they dont know their technical terms very well. The bald guy says "..Then we will transfer it into these (And points to secondary carboys) and let it distill." Then the black guy says "I transferred the honey porter into the second FERMENTATOR" LOL Then later says "You dont see any SETTLEMENT" referring to sediment.
