He did not like the beer in Philadelphia, and wrote to his wife in Boston that he would prefer a barrel of her beer, indicating to me that his wife made his favorite beer. He had it with his breakfast.

While it has some interesting quotes, that source is by a doctor interested in the Presidents' medical histories and he just doesn't understand much about beer, brewing, or brewing history. So it's not too good a source for this question. At the time Adams wrote that letter Philadelphia was in essence blockaded and all drinks were expensive and poor.

But he and his wife were certainly home brewers and liked their own brews. They even grew their own barley.

This is a tough question but I'm hoping for more snippets to be dug up to help me reach a conclusion.
