In response to public pressure, the White House released the recipe for two of its home brew recipes on Saturday.
In a blog post on the White House website, executive chef Sam Kass explained how the White House came to brew its own beers.
"Inspired by home brewers from across the country, last year President Obama bought a home brewing kit for the kitchen. After the few first drafts we landed on some great recipes that came from a local brew shop," Kass wrote. "We received some tips from a couple of home brewers who work in the White House who helped us amend it and make it our own. To be honest, we were surprised that the beer turned out so well since none of us had brewed beer before."

Another RAT solution - drinking.
History began some 12,000 years ago. Humans existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in winter.
The 2 most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer.
These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into 2 distinct subgroups: Liberals and Conservatives.
Once beer was discovered it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early human ancestors were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That’s how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as “the Conservative movement.”
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q’s and doing the sewing, fetching and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as ‘girlymen.’
Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, Al Franken, group hugs and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added) and girly drinks, but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.
Another interesting revolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men.
Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn’t “fair” to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, soldiers, athletes and generally anyone who works productively outside government.
Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to “govern” the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tame and created a business of trying to get MORE for nothing.
President Obama brews his own beer? Riiiiiiight! Explains that “this seat’s taken” tweet from the WH the other night at midnight.
Careful, Chef, maybe he was just testing you to see how you'd react if he brought home some seed for Hawaiian bud.
I can see it coming....
Baraq Beer
the ONLY alcoholic beverage govt approved for EBT purchases
No wonder BO was too busy to write a condolence letter to the parents of the military men killed back in january. He has been perfecting his beer recipe in the White House kitchen.
This idiot should never have been president. He has no sense of duty to the office.
We need to get a Special Prosecutor to determine if the beer brewed by Obama at the White House has ever been illegally sold, transported across state lines, served to minors, caused a drunk driving death or directly threatened sales of a domestic beer company.
If so, Obama will be prosecuted.
Blame it on Busch.
They didn’t make that recipe.
I thought they were saving that for a debate question.
I’ll bet he made a red ale.
Right. Give me a break. This beer meme is tiresome, and I'm not sure why the WH thinks it helps Obama in any way.
ok, since dark beer and pale ale jokes are off limits I can’t think of anything to say...
People should be stating, "You didn't brew that!"
They are only off limits to the politically correct. Black & Tan ales are great beer choices.
Go ahead and brew your little beer, Barry.
The TEA has been boiling out here for 4 years now
