Monday Rant: White House Honey Ale isn't a Big Deal

Hope everyone got to have some fantastic craft beer while celebrating Labor Day yesterday. I obviously took the day off from posting as this is a Monday Rant on a Tuesday.

Over the weekend the White House finally released the infamous home brewing recipes involving honey from the Rose Garden. If you want to find the actual source, along with the actual recipes of what's being brewed in the nation's most famous estate just click here.

From what I can gather, there was an online petition put together in order to force the White House's hand so that it would release the recipes for what's being brewed. I just don't understand what all of the madness is about. Who cares?

Is it really that important that we know the actual recipes for these beers? Why should any of this be considered public record? I find it intriguing that there's brewing taking place in the White House for possibly the first time in history, but I don't feel the urge to demand that I have the recipe, too. I'm quite content assisting my father in developing our own pumpkin ale recipe.
