Thomas Jefferson's Tavern Ale


Yesterday I posyed about President Obama's beer. But he was not the first president who had his own beer. Thomas Jefferson had a beer named after him, Thomas Jefferson's Tavern Ale.

While Jefferson vehemently opposed a strong central federal government, he apparently had nothing against strong ales like this one. Thomas Jefferson's Tavern Ale is a golden ale with dried fruits and toffee aromas inspired by Jefferson's original recipe that called for wheat, honey, and rye from his Virginia estate.
