The Lady’s studies continue today and right now she is deep in Cheese and Beer pairings, which scare her a bit as she doesn’t drink beer. The document she is studying at the moment is a quick study in how to pair cheeses and beers. The article was written by our friend, Janet Fletcher.
Here are a few of Janet’s pairings for those of you who prefer beer to wine when enjoying cheese:
|
Cheese |
Beer |
| Abondance (Alpine-style) | Maibock (Malty) |
| Piave (Hard, Aged cow’s milk) | Belgian Tripel (Strong, complex) |
| Manchego (Aged Sheep’s milk) | Oktoberfest (Malty) |
| Chimay (Washed-Rind) | Belgian Golden Ale (Strong, fruity, spicy) |
| Keen’s Cheddar (Tangy cheddar) | American Pale Ale (hoppy) |
