Batch #10. This was done with the recipe from the White House. The chefs at the White House starting brewing beer a while ago, and they finally (after a lot of pressure) released the recipe. Since we could not get our hands on any of Michelle Obama's honey from her garden, we used some from a local apiarist in Sterlington, LA.
