Brooklyn Brewery’s Garrett Oliver Will Bottle White House Beer

We brought you the news that Garrett Oliver was working with Diner’s Journal to brew a batch of the White House Honey Ale.  Now comes word from the NYTimes that the beer will be bottled.

I had thought the beer would be slightly drier and stronger than it turned out to be. But there were two unknown variables here: the pre-made malt extract and the yeast strain I used, both of them for the first time. Not all malt sugars can be fermented, and some yeast strains are more aggressive than others. 

A quick taste of our proto-beer revealed a broadly fruity palate with some caramel and floral notes, and a good balancing bitterness. Based on this and the lab analysis, I decided to follow the recipe as written and leave the beer undiluted. We will bottle soon, and I think this beer is going to be fine.
