The beer that former Marine Sgt. Dakota Meyer had with the president yesterday, before accepting the Medal of Honor? It was home-brewed, CBS reports. Historians say "White House Honey Ale" is the first first beer ever made on the premises. President Obama's chefs originally brewed it for a Super Bowl party, then for St. Patrick's Day, an event in June, and most recently for Sgt. Meyer's visit.
