While visiting a fire station in Norfolk today, President Obama gave firefighters a case of beer.

“The White House has been brewing it’s own beer. Have you heard about this?” he asked, offering them a whole case of his White House beer.

“Should we wait until tomorrow to drink it?” asked one of the firefighters on duty according pool report.

“I don’t want to get you into trouble with the chief,” Obama responded.

Later the White House informed the press that the case of beer was a mix of Honey Ale, Regular Ale, Dark Ale brewed by the White House.

President Obama also flashed his beer on the campaign trail, during his bus trip to Iowa and bought beer for voters at the Iowa State Fair.

Last weekend, the White House released the beer recipe to the public.
