A bottle of homebrew beer from the White House.
While most people in the United States were getting crazy over the Superbowl, it’s possible you missed the most important American tv-moment of the day. In an exclusive interview with NBC News president Barack Obama shared a beer with reporter Savannah Guthrie (see video below). But not just any beer, under his rule homebrew made a remarkable comeback in the White House. Obama claims to be the first president since (1732-1799) who brews his own beer. The first Obama beer that came out in 2011 was a honey ale, which is made with honey from his wife Michelle Obama’s garden. In 2012 his kitchen also started making White House Honey Blonde Ale, White House Honey Porter and White House Honey Brown. According to Obama the reviews are quite good. Too bad we’ll probably never be able to verify that since the White House brews usually come in small amounts (around 100 bottles a time) for special occasions like the Superbowl or St. Patrick’s Day. Still the most important conclusion must be that homebrewing really is hot. The figures were already there, but when even the president of the United States joins this trend… We wouldn’t be surprised if a whole bunch of celebrities will follow soon. Micky Bumbar .

Excellent! This is a commendable hobby for the President. Or, indeed, anyone at all.

Yes it is… Nothing like the calming sound of fermenting beer. We should offer some free masterclasses to mister Putin and some hotheaded Arabs too. The world would be a better place I tell you. 😉
Cheers,

Ah yes… Also I believe that every world leader has the moral obligation to keep his people at least tipsy. Drunk people are happy people and happy people don’t start wars. 😀

Your logic is unquestionably perfect. The world would be a much happier place and no doubt people would be randomly naked more frequently

Nothing wrong with people getting naked more often. Though I do worry a bit about overpopulation.

I see your point. But I am sure benefits of having a race of happy naked people will outweigh any negatives. Probably

A hobby for the White House chef really, just under orders from the President. Someone might want to tell them that they shouldn’t be fermenting under brights lights in a warm kitchen, but I’m sure that was just for a short time for the cameras so I guess I’ll let it slide.

Cool. I don’t even think our Prime Minister would even know what homebrew is …….

We are talking about Cameron here? I don’t expect ours (mark rutte from Holland) does either. Although he did raise fat taxes on alcohol. Putting liquor stores near the borders out of business. This may well have boosted the homebrew scene.
