Obama Homebrew!

[Adam]

The White House isn't like air force one where the president's house is always the white house. This White House is The White House and that is how the White House Curator states it in the article I quoted. So please read the article I post before bashing it.

"After looking through 200 years' worth of records, White House Curator Bill Allman announced that the Obamas had made history.
"We have no record of beer brewing at the White House," Allman said, noting that even the gourmand Thomas Jefferson never actually brewed beer in the White House.
Founding Father George Washington was a noted homebrewer, as The Hill notes — but he never lived in the White House, so he's out of the running for this distinction."

So if something isn't recorded, it didn't ever happen? Nice to know. Thanks.

John Adams was the first to live in the White House.

There is currently a We The People Petition to get the White House to release the recipies. It needs 25,000 signitures to get a response.

I signed the petition. Not too interested in brewing it, but I like the idea of homebrewers teaming up to do something like this. Go team.

This petition cracks me up. So much going on the world and we want to know the recipe! Really I think it shows that we DO live in a great country. I don't think your even allowed to ask Vlaldimir Putin for his vodka recipe.

Yes I know that. The other home was known by many names, including the White House, but the designation of the current residence's name is credited to Theodore Roosevelt.

He won't release his transcripts, you expect him to release his beer recipes?

I read somewhere they posted it. I can't remember if it was on FB or another forum I'm on. Was like 3lbs each of two extracts and one pound of honey. Didn't mention hops.
