So what's the recipe?

Simply put I DON'T CARE! Not because I am not interested but because it could be the greatest beer of all time and such a large percentage of people would hate it simply because of who brewed it or commissioned it to be brewed( whichever is the reality of it).
Also I am one who believes that there are parts of the presidents life that need to be kept to the president, this is one of those things. I don't want to know everything about the president, does he/she like good beer is all I need to know on the subject of beer. If that beer is a style I don't like I won't hold it against him/her, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Maybe it’s a secret because of foreign ingredients. What if they had the temerity to use Saaz or Munich or Nottingham?

It is silly season.

I read that he had 10 gallons for the Superbowl with 200 guests. So even with a White House invitation, it’s only a 50/50 shot of getting one. Pretty much zero chance of getting two.

I hate it because there's 758 new threads about the subject everyday.

It's only a few. Exaggerate and you've already conceded your point.

Regarldess of the true number, it's a "staggering" amount.

Whew! Glad you started a new thread on this. There hadn't been a new thread on this in like 2-3 hours and I thought I was going to have to start one. I'll check back in a couple of hours, and if there isn't a new thread by then, maybe I'll start one then.

Wouldn't it be fun to find the "Honey Ale" is actually just a BeeCave House clone?

I personally wouldn't be surprised...

Not really sure why you would draw this conclusion. The increased profile of beer has been met with great support in my state (Virginia). I just don't see the gov caring a wit about homebrewing, and when it comes to craft, anything that raises the public profile is a good thing. States are realizing the benefits that breweries bring (revenue, jobs, prestige). Increased awareness will make the general public angrier when BMC tries to mess with things, too.

From personal experience, I wrote our governor with some suggestions. A lot of other brewers and state congressman got involved, too. A few months later, some very great laws were passed in Virginia. Now, I'm a few months from opening my own nano and commercial hops operation at age 25.
