This recipe is based on the White House homebrew recipe that was released on September 1, 2012. The White House released the recipes after a petition and freedom of information act was submitted requesting the release of the recipes. Although getting access to the honey that is farmed on the White House grounds is not very likely, using some local honey ought to work just fine.

This recipe was adapted from the recipe at: www.whitehouse.gov

    It actually turned out really good...not much on the nose, but a very balanced beer overall. The honey didn't really come through so I might up that a bit if I brew it again.
