Obama vows to release his beer recipe

(CNN) – Move over Anheuser Busch, President Obama is releasing his own beer recipe.

The president himself confirmed the news Wednesday during an online chat on the user-generated website Reddit.

“It will be out soon!” Obama wrote. “I can tell you from first hand experience, it is tasty.”

Public clamor for the recipe began earlier this month, when the president told a voter in Iowa that his campaign bus was stocked his homemade suds. Previously, Obama officials had been tight-lipped on the subject.

But in a petition on the White House website, individuals identifying themselves as “home brewers across America” called on the Obama administration to fork over details of the secret ingredients, which reportedly include honey from the White House gardens. Separately, a Freedom of Information Act request was filed in an attempt to score the details.

White House chefs reportedly brew three varieties: a porter, a honey ale, and a honey blonde.

    So how much will a person have to donate to his campaign to get it?

    So he didn't build that: President Obama is releasing his own beer recipe. White House chefs reportedly brew three varieties: a porter, a honey ale, and a honey blonde. Obama is a good marketing machine, this move will definitely win him the College kids, definitely he now has them in his pocket. Keep those college kids drunk.

      SO IN YOUR MIND, ONLY COLLEGE KIDS DRINK BEER? MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO A POLL JUST TO BE SURE.

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

      • Francisco Decastro

        That was not what he said. Can't you read and understand at the same time? By understanding his comment he means that since college kids DO drink more and are MORE attentive to alcohol then the regular average in the United States. College kids party A LOT more and this type of subject will ATTRACT a college student's mind much stronger than others. You must have never been to college. Well I have been and now I am out, and I can truly say that beer and alcohol and party was a much more part of my life than now.

        You don't get it, he said he brewed his own beer, now the White House Chefs brew the beer. Does he even know how or what's involved, or does he take credit for something he has no clue about it.

      • DEcember 2012

        NOT SURE WHAT PART YOU THINK I DON'T GET. THE PART WHERE WE DON'T KNOW ANY DETAILS ABOUT THIS BREW AND THAT OBAMA PROMISE TO GIVE MORE DETAILS? WHAT KIND OF STORY ARE YOU TRYING TO CONCOCT BEYOND THAT?

        THE 'YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT' SLOGAN IS BEYOND SILLY. NOT ONLY IS IT BASED ON A DISTORTION AND TAKING SOMETHING OUT OF CONTEXT, IT CAN ALSO BE EASILY THROWN AT MITT ROMNEY'S SO CALLED ACCOMPLISHMENTS. SO ARE WE GOING TO TELL STAPES AND ALL THOSE COMPANIES THAT BAIN CAPITAL HELPED ALONG THE WAY THAT THEY DIDN'T BUILD THAT OR DOES IT ONLY APPLY TO GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE? SEEMS HYPOCRITICAL TO ME, BUT THEN AGAIN THAT HAS BEEN THE PATTERN OF THE ROMNEY CAMPAIGN. I'M NOT EVEN GOING BACK TO THE SALT LAKE CITY WINTER OLYMPICS SPEECH ROMNEY MADE WHERE HE BASICALLY TOLD THE ATHLETES THE SAME THING.

        THE RNC PERPETUATED AND TRIPLED DOWN ON THIS SLOGAN WITH SPEECHES SLAMMING OBAMA. PEOPLE WHO CAN SEE THROUGH THIS CAN ONLY CRINGE AND FEEL DISGUSTED. IF THIS IS WHAT THE GOP IS ALL ABOUT THEN THEY TRULY DESERVE THE MONIKER REPUBLITARDS.

        Obama has to show all those students how cool he is, he hasn't matured past his college beer drinking age. All that beer obviously destroyed his brain cells.

    So Obama thinks a homebrewed beer recipe is what the public needs. The public 'clamor' was caused by his boast. The dignity of the office keeps being lowered till it is devoid of honor, respect, and in the end moral power. Way to go. Putting suds over substance. And isn't it just majorly ironic how Obama can release his beer recipe but not any college records which no doubt will cast a damning light on his status as a foreign exchange student from Indonesia. Reveal something of substance Mr. President that uncovers the secrecy behind your Ayers funded education and Daddy Davis taught ideology not a honey ale. I'm ail too honey from knowing he reveals trivia but spends millions to hide his past.

    August 29, 2012 at 5:57 pm |
  5. bbrooker88

    I was already an Obama supporter but he's up on his homebrew too??? I am totally brewing that when the recipe is released. That is awesome!

  6. jon

    Ok thank you multi-millionaire Obama ... this is important to creating jobs and helping the economy, because for sure if people start to brew their own beer they will buy more beer from the store, and those the stores will order more beer, and the employees at the store will increase just from beer sales.

    August 29, 2012 at 5:59 pm |
    • Sam

      You do realize that Obama made almost all his money off of book sales right? Acting like he is some out of touch rich guy just doesn't work...

      August 29, 2012 at 7:29 pm |
    • TheLoneStar

      You obviously have no idea how big this could be. Just think of the all the jobs created by this recipe. More lawyers, more lawsuits, more pregnancies, more lawsuits, increased grain sales, transportation, marketing, more lawyers, glass industry explosion, coasters, more lawyers, more lawsuits, sales tax revenues, recycling, more drunk drivers, more lawyers, more lawsuits, new regulations, court battles, forestry expands, more paper production, more lawyers, more lawsuits, more abortions, clinics expand, and so it goes on and on until the US economy finally recovers all from a new beer recipe developed by President Obama who built it.

      August 29, 2012 at 8:57 pm |
    • Francisco Decastro

      You are joking right? Because how can you not see how this can bring jobs and money?

      I really think you are just kidding when you said that so I am not gonna beat you up for it. Because this obviously brings job and money and he could start something big. Maybe a government run beer? Maybe all that money to help the defect? The only bad side to this is that alcohol is bad for the consumers, EVEN if drinking moderately. Water and Juice is always a better choice. However this will being money and jobs.

      But i am still telling myself that you were just playing around and you obviously know this is actually a smart move.

      August 29, 2012 at 11:23 pm |
    • Howard

      Oh ... you gotta be kidding ... you're actually trying to equate obama's beer story with saving the economy ??? You obama stooges will go to any length to justify this fool's behavior. America has very serious problems ... problems which could literally plunge us into a depression that would be worse the the one in the 1920's ... Obama is AWOL ... and, the American people get what ??? ... media coverage and blogging about obama's beer recipe ... no wonder America is circling the bowl.

    • TommytheT

      wow, while the economy suffers Mr Obama is going to tell us all how he (or the White House Staff, glad to pay for that), is making Beer. Really how about releasing a budget, a plan or vision for addressing the Deficit and all the completely underfund entitlements and pension plans, the F&F coverup, your investigation of the WH security leaks. And sadly when he make this silly announcement, no one in the press calls him out on it?

      Is this really what I want my president to be focused on right now. I can't even afford to buy beer anymore, let alone make it in my free time. I work all day and it bothers me that my president is promoting his "recipe" when he should be running the country!!

    Well, I'm glad Obama has enough free time to create beer recipes and that the White House has enough extra money laying around to turn itself into a microbrewery. Hopefully his recipe for brewskies is a whole lot better than his recipe for creating a realistic budget or reducing the debt.

    Personally, I think we should all vote for Obama because he plays basketball, is slim and looks good in an expensive suit, jogs up and down the stairs onto podiuums and on and off of planes, has a charming smile, shows his profile and lifts his chin for the camera, looks at both sides of non-existent audiences while reading his scripts from a teleprompter, and is kind enough to distribute stimulus funds to supporters and increase the debt to offer more entitlements to all of us that fall into some special group whose votes he thinks he can buy. What more could anyone want in a President?

    Experience? Competence? Responsibility? Respect for the Constitution? The ability to compromise? Focus on something other than poll numbers and magazine covers? Paying more than lip service to unemployment and the economy? The ability to admit mistakes and make changes?

    Hmm.....maybe having a charming rock star for a President leaves a lot to be desired.

    It is a simple beer with simple ingredients; water, honey, barley, hops and yeast. Very much like any other beer recipe. Oh, yea, there is one ingredient that he fails to tell you about. It is what makes it uniquely Obama's beer, $16,000,000,000,000 national debt.

        Steveo, your reply makes no sense. How can you be occupied with hurt butts? And I dont really understand what you maen by "evolved." In my neutral/dont-really-care-about-either-side point of view, conservatives often get more butt-hurt than any other party.

        And lastly, if you were trying to come off as sarcastic, please dont. Sarcasm was generally intended to respond to dumb questions, and only correctly used by the clever.

        I realize my post requires you to THINK about it.

        You-"Sarcasm was generally intended to respond to dumb questions"

        Me- AND DUMB statements (which I did)

        You- only correctly used by the clever

        Me-BINGO! That is exactly what I did !

        NOBODY is "butt hurt about anybody brewing beer. Folks are concerned about the economy in which we were told it it did not get better The prez would be a ONE-TERMER! So when is the farewell speech?

        Here's a clue. The President recently "EVOLVED" his position on a hot button issue.

        For those who misunderstand, I am ragging on folks who like to use the term "butt-hurt" which up to this point has been Risky and December 2012, two liberals Any questions?

        August 30, 2012 at 2:50 pm |
      • Risky

        Steveo, no need to get so butt-hurt and try to defend yourself. And since you agree with me on the terms of use for sarcasm, then you should note that I never asked a question in the first place, therefore making sarcasm unnecessary. And sadly, your reply wasn't clever... My main point is, take the article for what it is, and to try making it more than that is useless.

        Lastly, sorry for not understanding your post. I tend to not be on the same page with stupidity.

        -------
        Don't give yourself too much credit Risky! But yeah you do as evidenced by your playfull little term of butt-hurt! My point is I don't care who brews what. Promises were made about the economy that were not kept! Oh I know your mantra will be "OBSTRUCTION". Somehow it wasn't the GOP who sent up a $3.7 Trillion "budget" that was shot down by BOTH parties! That is what I care about! Save your lectures my friend, you need them more than I do!

      • Risky

        Steveo, as I've said before. This is a simple article, and people such as yourself are trying to make it more than what it is. If you have something to complain about, your opinion would probably be more valued in a more appropriate article (though honestly, Im really enjoying this little back and forth we're having, like making a cat chase a laser pointer).

        As I've said before, I'm neutral and dont really care what anyone says about someone else. "Obstruction" isn't my type of cliche. I was simply here to point out the obvious for Lizzie. Im definitely not here to lecture (really don't care what conclusion you come to).

        Off topic- I would have loved to see Jon Huntsman as president.

        "People such as yourself? really. i just explained I don't care who brews what. That is not an issue I care about! As far as cats and lasers go, I just shined it on the ceiling. What happened?

        August 30, 2012 at 4:47 pm |
      • Risky

        Steveo, as I've been saying, if you want to talk about something other than the article, then you're better off posting somewhere else. And as for my metaphor about cats and lasers; everything I've said, you took a little, and followed it–from butt-hurt, and sarcasm, to CATS AND LASERS. Last time I checked, the laser doesn't follow the cat...

        I dont understand how you could possibly think that you're the one holding the laser.

        I'm sure yo domn't understand! You REALLY expectd me to think you hold the laser? Not today or ANY day!

      • Risky

        Steveo, I just proved to you that you're constantly following my every word. I cant believe you are still nibbling at every piece of bait I drop on the floor. And I find it absolutely hilarious that you fit the republican stereo-type that you twist facts for your own gain, and can never provide facts of your own. I gave up on the expectation that you'd answer/reply with something that contains common sense. You'll most likely deny this; denial is your game. Being above and beyond you is mine. gg np kthx bai :]

        August 31, 2012 at 12:22 pm |
      • Steveo

        You PROVED nothing! You above and beyond me? THAT is funny! I imagine it is hard for you to sleep with all that chest beating you are doing! But If you think you being "above and beyond" me makes you feel better and accomplished, have at it! that and $7.25 will get you a cup of joe at Starbucks! Drink up!

        August 31, 2012 at 12:31 pm |
      • Cynthia L.

        @Steveo, YOU PAY $7.25 for a cup of coffee at Starbucks and complain about the economy?.....How does that make sense? If you know the prices of Starbucks coffee, I truly think you are checkbook challenged.

        August 31, 2012 at 1:11 pm |
      • Risky

        Steveo, I think you're getting a bit too angry and personal on an article about beer. I guess you can call me a troll because I find it really funny how mad you're getting (I know you'll deny that you're mad even though you clearly are). The proof is that I never personally attacked you, and you're already trying to define my life style(aka personal attack). This is a sign that you've already lost; if there was a scoreboard, I'd have about 7 points, and you'd have 0.

        Proof: butt-hurt, sarcasm, cats chasing lasers, who holds the laser, above and beyond. Theres the list of subjects you follow up on. You'll always be my little follower. Like a dog (being you) chasing a fancy red sports car (thats me).

        I even added the little bracket notes to make things more clear and easier for you to understand.

        Cynthia,

        You are all over the place today. I drink coffee mostlyfrom home and work. Every once in a while Mickey Ds and that is pretty much it! NO Starbucks for me. Oh I could afford it but I am not forking that much for a cup of coffee, favored or not. In additon, you understand the use of old sayings, right? It used to be something like this. "That and a quarter will get you... meaning I am not concerned about Risky thinking he/she bested me in anything!. I just had to adjust for inflation!

        August 31, 2012 at 1:27 pm |
      • Steveo

        Can you toot you horn any louder? Why should I waste valuable time and energy getting mad at you? I don't even know you! So if you think I am mad, help yourself! You'd be very wrong but help yourself! In fact I am chuckling at you use of imagery, especially that laser cat thingy, reminded of that SNL and Andy Samberg skit!

        You're the red sports car? You mean the one in the garage with NO tires, no gas and NO steering wheel? The one that looks good but goes nowhere,fast? That red sports car? Humor me for a moment ! Are you a GM product?

        August 31, 2012 at 1:39 pm |
      • Risky

        Steveo, I consider myself to be the red ferrari minding my own business while driving down the road, yet being chased by dogs that like to use exclamation marks and caps-lock when they're mad (once again that would be you). When you try to attack someone's personal life on the internet, you've lost. Your use of chest beatings, accomplishments, and starbucks coffee prices (i only spend $4.25 for my coffee).

        I didn't want to point this out, but I think you need to get some therapy for getting so riled up about the term "butt-hurt."

        August 31, 2012 at 1:53 pm |
      • Steveo

        Risky,

        Be the red sports car, Risky. Funny how the lack of $100 worth of spark plugs (the really good ones) keeps you in the garage! You look good but don't seem to be going anywhere!

        Pesronal attacks? You're kidding right? If you can't hang, there 's always Disney.com!

        August 31, 2012 at 2:04 pm |
      • Steveo

        I did not cry when you think l am the dog while you think you are a red sport car. I did not cry when you think I am the cat to your laser! BUT I said chest beating, horn tooting, and $7 dollar Starbucks coffee and you consider that a personal attack? But you think I need therapy and I shake that off but I personally attacked you! Sorry I was wrong about sending you to Disney.com! Try Barney.com! Or maybe the teletubbies.com. They will not hurt your feelings over there! Chest beating and horn tooting are personal attacks? Really?

        August 31, 2012 at 2:13 pm |
      • Risky

        No worries, my feelings takes alot more to be hurt than this. And yes claiming that I get my kicks and accomplishments by putting you down to let me sleep soundly at night is kind of a personal attack. And yes you might need therapy if you're gonna jump at people that use the term "butt-hurt." It's really not that hard to comprehend.

        It's funny how you're going so into detail about a metaphor. Pointless, but still funny.

        August 31, 2012 at 2:31 pm |
      • Steveo

        kind of a personal attack
        -------
        Then I suggest you go to the top the this blogging chain, HONESTLY re-reads the things you said about me (personal attacks) and HONESTLY review how we each responded to "personal attacks". First it was a "personal attack" and now its "kind of a personal attack"?

        You said:I am not clever
        You alluded to me being stupid
        I am a cat
        I am a dog
        You being Dr Phil and all think I need therapy over some thing mentioned YESTERDAY??

        Yet I did not make a big deal over any of it!
        but YOUR offended and attacked?

        Buh-bye Risky! Enjoy that car!

        August 31, 2012 at 2:47 pm |
      • Risky

        Actually, those aren't personal attacks, they're simply things I observe. I never once mentioned anything about your "personal life" outside of the internet. And you're right, I was actually surprised you replied to what I've said YESTERDAY. You can claim all you want about how "well" you handle being constantly downgraded. But I can see it within your words; you're getting butt-hurt. . Once again, I've never said anything about your personal life, yet you have. My feelings aren't hurt; I'm simply pointing out that if you're going to resort to those types of attacks, then you've lost. It's really not that hard to comprehend...unless your life is so dependent on internet opinions, then yes you might need therapy.

    I just knew that this really nice story would be fodder for the crazies. I guess repos have no sense of humor at all. Such hate over a silly little story. But then look at their convention . Not only dull and boring but full of lies and they even insulted their own and made racial slurs about some of their own delagates. So you see what complete jackasses they are as a party. Mitts idea of a job is fireing someone.

      @Nam Vet so,so true. Most home brewers give up because they can't get anything but foam and flat taste. To get it right takes patience and perservence AND the BEST INGREDIENTS compliementing each other. Only people who have the will to make it good, make it good.
