The result is a fine Dutch Gouda that blends the gentle saltiness of a well-matured cheese

with the fresh, slightly bitter fruitiness of Paulus Beer. A cheese that will leave you wanting more.

BLEU D'AUVERGNE MILLEDOME

If Roquefort is the assertive ‘King of Blues’ then the even-tempered Bleu d’Auvergne is the prince. Though both were developed early in the 19th century, are currently AOC protected, and made with a similar recipe, the difference lies in milk type, region and intensity. This blue, made from raw cow’s milk, is mellow and meaty, taking its name from the region of origin while Roquefort is a spicy sheep milk cheese from down south. So while he may not be the life of the party, well balanced salt and spice makes d’Auvergne a perfect companion for ale.

FR-088 | 2x6lb | $7.19/LB

WHY THIS PAIR WORKS

This pairing is all about matching the intensity of each others flavors. The balanced malt flavor of Golden Monkey along with the intense flavor of Bleu d’Auvergne is equally matched when combined.
