This recipe is brewed in the White House. Believe it or not President Obama purchased homebrewing equipment and the White House chefs developed this recipe. This beer is what they drink at the White House Super Bowl parties. Its been given as gifts to forign dignitaries and other heads of state. The recipe can be found on the White House website. This is the first known beer to be brewed inside the White House. The original recipe uses honey from the First Lady's bee hives on the south lawn of the White House. Unfortunately that's the only ingredient not available to the general public.
