> Craft Beer, homebrewing > Brew like a president today!
Yesterday the White House announced on their blog and via email to the folks whom e-signed the petition, that it would divulge the ingredients of the special homebrews that President Obama has bragged about drinking while on the road.
A president brewing? Don?t be too shocked. Most of our founding father?s were home brewers but we didn?t have a White House at the time so this really is something unique. The fact that home brewing is being recognized by the man in charge of our country is a HUGE compliment, even if you don?t like the guy, but something got me thinking, was it all staged?
In no way am I taking away from the fact you can now brew like a president but look at a few things:
- He?s not making it, his kitchen staff is. That?s like volunteering, having someone else do it, and then you take the credit.
- While watching this video the White House released I?m kinda irked and how they talked about the process and handled the grain sack. They?re obviously chefs so they know how to follow directions but did anyone else advise them? Homebrewing is exploding in popularity so anyone that does it just to earn brownie points gets a scowl from me.
- There?s a video! You?re not going to document this if you have no intention of showing it later. Makes me wonder if Reddit was set up. I hope not since I love to use it.
Do I think it?s cool that someone in the White House even said ?Hey, why don?t we make beer.? Sure. Am I going to try and make these beers also? Absolutely (with a local honey though).
Its great that the message of craft beer and home brewing is going mainstream but does it hurt the cause if its cheapened to make an appeal to the masses?
