Inspired by home brewers from across the country, last year President 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.

… and congratulations are due to DOZER’s? Mike Mraz,? who took 3rd Place in Category 10: American Ale, and Nate Smith, who came away with 3rd Place in Category 16: Belgian and French Ale! And, to our friends in the Brewing Network, who garnered Homebrew Club of the Year. Well done!
