No White House beer recipes forthcoming

Bad news, home brewers.

The Obama administration isn't revealing any of its beer secrets, at least not yet.

"I'm not aware of any plans at this time," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.

As we noted earlier this week, a variety of brewers have asked the White House for the recipes to White House Honey Ale, both the light and dark varieties.

The requests have come in form of online petitions and Freedom of Information Act requests.

The White House has mentioned the existence of a small brewing facility in months past, but knowledge went viral this month when President Obama discussed the White House ale in Iowa.

Since then, officials have said the honey in White House Honey Ale comes from the garden started by first lady Michelle Obama.

The rest of the recipe? Who knows -- though Carney did leave open the possibility of future revelations.

"I'll have to take the question," Carney said. "Examine it ... taste it."
