Brewing: 'We the people... demand Barack Obama's beer recipe'
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Barack Obama is known to enjoy a "brewksi" and his aides and thirsty journalists have been lucky enough to share a pitcher of his White House homebrew on the presidential campaign bus.
Now, one enterprising craft brewer has called on POTUS to share the launch codes to his Honey Ale recipe (the honey's from Michelle's hives on the South Lawn). He has filed a Freedom of Information Act request and had gained more than 2,000 signatures on an online petition by last night.
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin all enjoyed a homebrew, but is this more about politics than pale ale? Tony Blair used tea as part of his man-of-the-people schtick and Obama has downed enough ice-cold beer to keep Michelle's bees busy until election day.
