Home brewing, even when your home is the White House.

In Utah, do you ever feel like you're a home brewing army of one?  Do your neighbors look at you funny when they hear about your hobby?  Perhaps you feel like you're constantly educating the masses about the joys of making and partaking of home brewed beer?  Well, rejoice, because one more person has now joined the ranks of the home brewers.  In fact, you may now count the leader of the free world among your home brewing colleagues.  Obama may not live in Utah, but his participation in the craft will help pave the way to better recognition throughout the masses.  You're no longer that creepy neighbor with the bubbling carboy, you're the neighbor who has the same hobby as the President of the United States!

Apparently our home brewing leader decided to make a honey ale, naming it "White House Honey Ale".  Reportedly, he's using honey produced by his wife, Michelle's hobby: Bee Keeping.  I've always thought that bee keeping and beer brewing were two very good complimentary hobbies.

But now I want to know: what does Obama's home brewery look like?  Does he use all-grain or extract?  What's the recipe for White House Honey Ale?  Will they be growing hops next to the bee hives?  Someone needs to march up to the capital and ask these important questions!
