Obama is a homebrewer

[MZRIS]

I wonder if they make anything in the imperial category yet?

 

[mbauer013]

Say what you will about Obama. I'm betting the beer will help make him one of the few presidents in modern times who didn't seem to age 10 years during his last 4 years!

Fixed that for ya

Home brewers are petitioning the White House to release the recipe of their Honey Ale.

http://wh.gov/4y9b

The official petition puts it this way...

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Release the recipe for the Honey Ale home brewed at the White House.
Following in the footsteps of great men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, Barack Obama has reportedly been enjoying the rewards of home brewed beer. Recent reports from news outlets like the Washington Post (August 15th, 2012) have stated that Obama has been drinking a White House home brew Honey Ale while on the campaign trail.

In keeping with the brewing traditions of the founding fathers, homebrewers across America call on the Obama Administration to release the recipe for the White House home brew so that it may be enjoyed by all.

"I think it’s time for beer” -Franklin D. Roosevelt (March 12, 1933)​

NPR has a good story about the discovery of the White House ale — apparently the first beer actually brewed in the White House: http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way...to-serve-more-home-brewed-beer-at-white-house

This is good information, thank you.

Way more important than Romney's financial records, what landed at Roswell or who was really behind the JFK assasination.

 

[Revvy]

You do know there's about 10 threads about the petition on here already since Saturday, when the guy that actually started the petition put up a thread letting us know about it?

Obama is home brewing beer?

I got my first grey hairs from a bad breakup. I think the POTUS is entitled to quite a few more. Maybe some homebrew will help!

In other news, Louis Pasteur totally turns the brewing world on its head by proposing that fermentation is conducted by living yeasts cells and not by a chemical process.

Blasphemy...!!!

Everyone knows it is "God is Great" that makes the beer.
Heretic.....


By the way...........Obama brews beer.

I just stir the wort with my Divine Rod of Brewing and and it starts bubbling 45 out of 50 times.

Your nuts if you don't.

/sigh

Everybody knows you add the alcohol once fermentation is done. Gah! Stop spreading misinformation.

IMHO, this is wasted tax payer dollars that should be spent feeding the hungry, housing the poor and buying lexus sedans on EBT cards.

 

[Bentapp2]

Press secretary just tweeted if they get all the necessary signatures on the online petition, they will release the recipe for the White House Honey Ales. https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/238787131328299008 takes hardly a minute to make an account and just the click of a button to sign the petition. Spread the word!

 

[Homercidal]

I don't think it's a black beer. Darker than average, but not truly black.

It was all paid for with his own money.

 

[Cpt_Kirks]

There seem to be a LOT of threads by total n00bs on this topic.

Odd that.

 

[amc22]

And you've posted in all of them, why not give those nearly 37k posts of yours a break and let the mods handle it?

 

[stamandster]

Again?? Really??

 

[ktblunden]

You created an account just for the purpose of starting an Obama petition thread to get an extract plus honey recipe? Really?

 

[Slipgate]

Anyone that would sign up at the whitehouse website for anything is a fool.

 

[aubiecat]

This garbage is out of control.

 

[cosmatics]

Obviously this thread will be a million back forth between anti/pro obama. But thanks for listing link since I'm just curious as to presidential beers, and could give less then two sh*ts about what monkey is holding the presidential throne be it bush or barack.

 

[DarthMalt]

Who cares... You can probably get a better recipe from the database here.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Yay. Now maybe this thing will go away.

($10 says it's a Brewers best kit)

 

[cosmatics]

Who cares is like saying "who cares to post who cares", who cares. I care, hence my post saying thanks. I'm an all grain brewer but just think it'll be cool to have a recipe that a president drank via homebrew, extract, whatever. If anyone has any other presidential homebrews, post them.

"Take a large Siffer [Sifter] full of Bran Hops to your Taste. -- Boil these 3 hours then strain out 30 Gall[ons] into a cooler put in 3 Gall[ons] Molasses while the Beer is Scalding hot or rather draw the Melasses into the cooler & St[r]ain the Beer on it while boiling Hot. let this stand till it is little more than Blood warm then put in a quart of Yeat if the Weather is very Cold cover it over with a Blank[et] & let it Work in the Cooler 24 hours then put it into the Cask -- leave the bung open till it is almost don[e] Working -- Bottle it that day Week it was Brewed."

Bottom up bro.

I think it's refreshing to have a little fun and manage to find a bit of humor around today's political environment. I signed the petition in this spirit. Lighten up, folks. It's beer.

That's what I'm talking about Gila! I just gotta find my 30gal MLT!

This is the 12th thread on this topic in the last 4-5 days. It's beyond ridiculous. People are lazy.

I'm more curious about the tomatoes that the Mrs. had shipped in... Err I mean, GREW in the backyard!
