Beer & Cheese Pairings

 

We all know the dynamic duo wine & cheese but what about beer? Frank & Holly will walk guests through a twist on this classic pairing with some of our favorite beer & cheese combinations. 

 

Light flavors to complement each other. Brings out peppery taste of Saison.

Brie + Scotch Ale Founders Dirty Bastard

Scotch Ale Founders Dirty Bastard

High & Low notes; Mixes well with Scotch Ale – turns to a desert ale. Earthiness of beer pairs well with earthy brie

Brie + Lager / Ocktoberfest

Yuengling

With a cheese like swiss you want a high malt, low alcohol beer

Cheddar + IPA

60-min IPA Dogfish // Cape May IPA

The cheddar takes away the bitterness of the IPA. Hop strength should match the sharpness of the cheddar – brings fruitiness / tanginess to the beer

Parmesan + Porter 

Yard's Washington Porter

Nutty cheeses go well with dark, malty ales. Sharp cheese flavor is better for tasting roastier notes of a Porter
