Who was the first president to brew beer in the White House?
President Obama's quest to turn 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue into a brewery began in 2011 when he asked White House chef Sam Kass "to create workable recipes they could try." Their efforts eventually resulted in two brews, a Honey Porter and White House Honey Brown Ale, both of which are made with honey from the White House's very own bee hive. The most patriotic of drinkers can even recreate the President's beers at home — the recipes for both the porter and the ale are posted on the official WhiteHouse.gov site.

My, my! This little question certainly unleashed a firestorm of right wing cray-cray, didn't it?

Drew Johnson,
Why do you call him names, assume he is Muslim, and use the word "gay" as a pejorative? Is there something wrong with you that everything different than you is presumed to be despicable?

I had read that Obama drank beer a lot with people he invited to the WH, so I chose Obama, and I knew that Washington never lived in the White House.

This part President Obama's quest to turn 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue into a brewery began in 2011 , sounds a bit off, why would he want to turn it into a brewery? a rephrasing that looks a little less änti" would work better in the answer.

that explains a lot.
