While I do not have a recipe for this, I thought it was interesting. Apparently, Obama is the first president to have brewing going on at the White House. The beers they make are often served to guests, like Medal of Honor Recipient, Dakota Meyer (right).
Thank you, President Obama, for taking home-brewing to the White House and representing the 700,000 or so of us that are making our own brews. It would be pretty cool to see what recipes they use, but I suppose that is probably a state secret.

I’m using up the rest of the cherry juice concentrate I have. I decided to make some cherry wine. The first wine we ever made together was cherry, and it turned out very nicely. This wine will use a different type of cherries, Montmorency, and I hope will be interested to see how it turns out.
