I've just added a photo of President Obama and Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer drinking this beer which might be worth including Nick-D (talk) 10:47, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Information cited to blogspot should be either removed or given a better citation. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:29, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

I would usually agree but that is the closest you can get to an official source and it is used merely to identify the month of launch rather than just the year. violet/riga _^[talk] 09:35, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Note how "the only beer know ever to have been brewed in the White House." does not have a citation after it, essentially rendering it cited to blogspot. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:44, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

That's one problem with such a cite system - as it is used within a sentence it confuses matters. The first line was referenced later on meaning that this could get away without a cite if it were classed as part of the lead. Anyway, I've reused a cite for clarification. violet/riga _^[talk] 10:33, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Both ALT2 and ALT3 are okay now. Not especially fond of the original or ALT1. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:07, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
