Another reason to like Obama....



The people want to know what's in the brew. The latest document requested of the White House isn't about the economy or national security. It's about beer recipes.

The White House has made no secret that it churns out brews that include Honey Porter and Honey Blonde Ale, made with the honey from Michelle Obama's White House garden and equipment the Obamas bought with their own money. But ever since President Obama last week admitted he was traveling with a stash of White House-brewed beer on his campaign bus, beer enthusiasts want to know how it's made.

Individuals calling themselves “homebrewers across America" filed a petition on the White House website demanding that the Obama administration cough up the recipe for the special suds.

“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,” the petition reads.

Half the fun of homebrewing is figuring out the recipe. Once you do, the other half is keeping it a secret.

The petition for the recipe will fail because the record has been sealed.
On a brighter note, a name for the Honey Ale has been selected and the
Whitehouse Beer will now be called, "You Didn't Brew This".

Somewhere in this thread is a reason for me to be outraged. So I will dispense with reading this thread, and simply declare my outrage forthwith (sp:?).

Yeah, there is an actual FOIA request for the recipe. As a guy who has been around quite a few FOIAs (sometimes associated with the filing end, sometimes the receiving) I find this hilarious.
