We finally have an answer to the burning beer geek question of what type of beer President Obama shared with Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer. According to the Marine Corp Times:
A White House spokesman tells Marine Corps Times that the beer shared by Obama and Meyer was home-brewed there. It’s called White House Honey Blonde Ale. That’s pretty sweet.
So there you have it – it was the White House home brew. As a beer geek, I can’t think of a brew more fitting for an American hero. To be able to say you actually shared a pint of White House Honey Blonde Ale with the President would make you the envy of every beer nerd out there. I guess the Medal of Honor doesn’t hurt either. 🙂
Thanks to reader ringomp3 for supplying us with the answer!
So it turns out that heroes get home brew at the White House.

Now the big question is: did he like it? And if he liked it, did they send him home with a case?
Could you imagine if that was his “a-ha” beer and he shuns Bud Light forever?
That would be sweet… I wonder who actually brews the beer at the White House?
One of the chef’s does. here’s more info someone shared in the comments here yesterday: http://beernews.org/2011/02/white-house-honey-ale-homebrewing-is-back-in-style/
