For those who are taking their first homebrew steps into a larger craft brewing world, you can celebrate this Independence Day in craft beer style with Northern Brewer’s White House homebrew kits.

The White House Honey Ale is made with a big foundation of malt with strong tones of biscuit and toffee and balanced out with pure honey to lighten the body. For the brand-new brewer, there is the White House Honey Ale beer kit, while experienced homebrewers would want to take a look at the White House Honey Ale 1-gallon recipe kit. The White House Honey Porter, on the other hand, is designed with a moderate bitterness that includes black and roasty elements, a generous amount of sweet caramel and toasty Munich salts and a pound of honey.
