White House Honey Ale

Yes, you read that right.  The White House made beer using honey from the first ever bee hive on the South Lawn.  I was fascinated when I read about a New York Times reporter who went about trying to re-create it.  Check out Eric Asimov’s story here.  

I loved watching the White House chefs attempts at making beer after President Obama bought a home-brewing kit last year.  Even though I’m not a big beer fan - too many years living in Germany while I was growing up, it made me want to try and make beer at home.  In case it also makes you feel the same way, here is the White House recipe for Honey Ale.  Brew away!
