Ale to the Chief

Just stumbled across this... anyone make this with your own local honey?

Extra points if you used actual white house honey

I've converted it to all grain and used American hops amongst other tweaks. I used local honey from Fayetteville, GA. It's a favorite amongst friends and family. Only downside is that it's a bit expensive to brew when using local honey.

Yeah I could see it being a bit expensive with the local honey, but after brewing a vanilla porter with real vanilla beans I don't think it will be too bad. Also less expensive than usingwhite house honey I presume, haha. Glad to hear y'all like it. I might have to give it a go.
