Although you may think wine first when it comes to cheese, many people think beer makes the better pairing. Come and decide for yourself!

Beer is the de facto complement for cheese in many cultures worldwide. Cheese and beer grew up together on the farm, and the grain used to produce beer is often the same as that which is fed to milk-animals to produce cheese.

More importantly, the flavors of beer and cheese – earthy, yeasty, musty, fruity, rich, toasty, floral – jibe in a way that many feel those of wine and cheese cannot. Even the craft beer and artisanal cheese industries bare a certain resemblance: both are propelled forward by avid enthusiasts playing new world riffs on old world styles.
