The beer (called White House Honey Ale) was brewed with one pound of honey from the White House beehive, Obama Foodorama reports. The site adds that the ale was made by “an unnamed White House chef who is a home-brewing enthusiast.”
The homemade microbrew was served up in bottles with labels that read “brewed with White House honey.”
President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama sampled the suds for the first time on Sunday evening, along with some of their 200 guests.
Those gathered — including Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony — were served gridiron favorites including bratwurst, cheeseburgers, deep dish pizza, Buffalo wings and German potato salad.

The First Lady’s office confirms that the White House chefs made one batch of beer using about a pound of honey from the First Lady’s honey hive, on the South Lawn of the White House.
The chefs used the traditional methods to brew the beer, and the First Lady’s office confirms that the Obamas paid for the equipment.

And Mrs. Obama has also given the harvested honey from the White House hive as gifts. At the G-20 meetings in Pittsburgh the First Lady gave the visiting spouses a wooden box including two jars of White House honey.

Let’s see the rest of the ingredients because the specific gravity using only a pound of honey making enough to bottle and serve 200 people would be a little thin to say the least.
