Beer and cheese? The very idea is
enough to make many a wine aficionado spill their prized Bordeaux.
Yet historically the pairing has been a common one, particularly in
Northern Europe. Harmonic convergence happens when a sharp, bitter,
hoppy India Pale Ale meets a piquant, high-acid cheddar; or when a
porter with its caramel and coffee notes encounters a smooth and
sweet aged Gruyere. Beer not included.
Brown
Ale Cheese Assortment
English and American Brown Ales share many characteristics, and both
complement this selection of cheeses beautifully. These hand-crafted ales
crave textured, robust and complex cheeses, and that’s exactly what we’ve
given them. Pete’s, Rogue, Sierra Nevada and Brooklyn Brewery all produce
popular domestic Brown Ale, whilst from the other side of the pond Samuel
Smiths and of course Newcastle are easily accessible. Appleby's Farmhouse
Cheshire, Agour Ossau-Iraty, Beemster X.O., Monte Veronese Vecchio. More
IPA Cheese Assortment
Ah the wonderful world of India Pale Ale! Transcending its humble origins
of the late 1700’s, IPA has become a juggernaut, encompassing a variety of
styles and produced worldwide. There are several domestic producers
(Harpoon and Dogfish amongst them) that are widely available, as well as
Fuller’s IPA from England. Regardless of origin, we found all of these
begged for robust and subtly spicy cheeses, and paired very well with the
following selections: Scottish Cheddar, Grana Padano, Montasio Festivo &
Provolone Piccante. More
Porter Cheese Assortment
Beer and cheese? This enticing tradition is being resurrected here in the
US, at microbreweries and dairies across the country. Some of the classic
combinations are simply divine, whilst contemporary pairing of new world
beers and cheeses is yielding exciting results. With all this in mind we
have created four new assortments, each carefully selected to accompany
your favorite brew. Our Porter assortment contains our four favorite
cheeses to enjoy with a creamy glass of Porter. Great Porters will possess
hints of caramel, chocolate and coffee More
Stout Cheese Assortment
English, Irish and the new breed of American Stout all get their wonderful
characteristics from two things: The first and essential element is the
ingredients, such as the chocolate, caramel and black malts, which are roasted,
adding a slight bitterness and depth of flavor. The second step of course is the
recipe and method of production. All great stouts share the same complex
characteristics and a natural affinity to artisan cheeses. Quicke's Traditional
Mature Cheddar, Royal Blue Stilton, Garrotxa & Fontina Val d'Aosta. More
Pub Cheese Assortment

with Porter Ale & Chimay with Beer is so named because this
cheese's rind is rubbed with beer during curing. More
