In case you missed the original story, the White House has been brewing their own beer based on honey form the White House grounds. With the campaign for President in full stride, the story has grown legs and now there is a petition (with 24,582 signatures) on the White House web site to release the recipe for the beer. The petition is here and some details follow:
Following in the footsteps of great men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, Barack Obama has reportedly been enjoying the rewards of home brewed beer. Recent reports from news outlets like the Washington Post (August 15th, 2012) have stated that Obama has been drinking a White House home brew Honey Ale while on the campaign trail.
In keeping with the brewing traditions of the founding fathers, homebrewers across America call on the Obama Administration to release the recipe for the White House home brew so that it may be enjoyed by all.

I think it’s time for beer” -Franklin D. Roosevelt (March 12, 1933)
