White House releases beer recipes

The White House has released two recipes for beers produced on site: the honey brown ale and the honey porter.

"Inspired by home brewers from across the country, last year President (Barack) Obama bought a home brewing kit for the kitchen. After the few first drafts we landed on some great recipes that came from a local brew shop. We received some tips from a couple of home brewers who work in the White House who helped us amend it and make it our own. To be honest, we were surprised that the beer turned out so well since none of us had brewed beer before," chef Sam Kass wrote on the White House blog Saturday.

The beers use honey collected from a beehive on the south lawn of the White House.

The recipe for this summer's honey blonde was not released.
