The White House has given the people what they want and finally released the recipe for Obama’s favoured honey ale home brew recipe.
A petition imploring the White House to release the recipe, which has been mentioned by Obama numerous times along the campaign trail, garnered international attention as it sought to reach the 25,000 signature threshold that would see the petition considered by officials.
But despite still being over 12,000 signatures shy of this benchmark, the White House has decided to proactively release the recipe; a clever move in the midst of a presidential election that has just seen Obama’s opponent overtake him in the polls.
Along with the petition, one Reddit user submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act to have the recipe released.
During an AMA (“Ask Me Anything”) session on the site, Obama answer queries about whether the recipe would be released by telling eager readers that it would "be out soon! I can tell from first hand experience, it is tasty."
