May 17, 2010 Beer & Food, Celebration Worthy, Education & Training, Events
Many Thanks to Scott, Justin, Kristen, and Tom for Thursday night’s success.
Southern Oregon Brewing was our host location for May’s monthly meet up – with resounding success.
Women Enjoying Beer and Cheese
We had 24+ women show up just for the event – most had reserved a spot and we had some more fabulous women come join us to the groups benefit. More truly is merrier! Thanks to everyone who came to enjoy the SOB beer and cheese pairing.
To the patrons who were in the taproom already enjoying beer, wondering what was happening when Anna and I began setting up – cheers! Thanks for being game to let us (unknowingly) interrupt your Thursday night.
Cheese is a classic to pair with beer. Why?
Because like cheese, beer has many complexities that, since it’s a living thing (yeast and all), has infinite possibilities of what flavors may develop. Yes, you can plan some, yet since yeasts and molds are rather independently spirited organisms, in the end it can be a surprise.
The SOB beers and cheeses we paired:
- 1. Gold Ale with Monterrey Jack
- 2. Pale Ale with medium Cheddar
- 3. IPA with Camembert
- 4. Porter with Caved Aged Swiss Gruyere
- 5. Black IPA with Gorgonzola
How’s that sound?
Good beer and food references:
p.s. Happy American Craft Beer Week – May 17th – 23rd – we’ll be at SSBC celebrating tonight from 6 – 8
