SAVOR BRIE 3K COURONNE CHEESE WITH A CRISP REFRESHING PILSNER BEER. Because this beer is not only the most popular in the world it is also the most versatile to serve with a wide variety of food. When served with Brie Couronne the pilsner allows you to really enjoy the cheese's earthy, rich and buttery cheese to it's fullest.

Pilsner beer originated in a small town in the Czech Republic in the mid 1800s. Not surprisingly, it is served in a long slender glass called a pilsner glass! The shape of the glass helps the bubbles rise to the top and the wide mouth enhances the beers aroma.

FETA: THE FLAVORFUL CLASSIC!

MT. VIKOS TRADITIONAL FETA is made from the milk of freeranging sheep and goats in Greece's Thessaly and Macedonia regions. Blending 70% sheep's milk and 30% goat's milk, it offers a sweet, rich flavor. Aged for 60 to 90 days in beech tree barrels, this cheese develops a unique, tangy taste. As part of the Mediterranean Diet, Mt. Vikos Feta is a delicious, lower-calorie option, perfect for salads, pastries, or enjoying on its own.

BEER

ENJOY MT. VIKOS FETA WITH A GERMAN-STYLE WHEAT

German-style Weissbier and Belgian Witbier offer a light, refreshing taste with complex flavors. These beers are known for their hazy, golden color and frothy head. Weissbier is brewed with a high percentage of wheat, giving it a smooth, subtly sweet, bready flavor. Belgian Witbier adds coriander and orange peel for a zesty, spicy touch. Feta cheese, with its crumbly texture and bright, tangy flavor, is made from sheep's or goat's milk and brined for its distinctive saltiness. Its creamy texture and bold taste enhance dishes without overpowering them. The light, crisp profile of wheat beer complements the creaminess of feta, especially in salads and sandwiches. The citrus and spice notes in the beer highlight the cheese's tanginess, creating a balanced, refreshing combination.

US-2996 Tilla mook Special Reserve

X-Sharp Yellow Cheddar | 12x7oz | $38.99/CS

MAKE ANY OCCASION A SPECIAL ONE!

EXTRA SHARP AGED CHEDDAR is a creamy, smooth cheddar with sweet, buttery notes and a slightly grassy finish. Velvety texture with a slight crumble and a rich fresh-churned cheddar aroma. Winner of a 2020 World Championship Cheese Contest award. Extra sharp yet extra versatile, this bold cheddar pairs well with both sweet, earthy, and punchy flavors while sipping an American Pale Ale.

A PERFECT PAIR: EXTRA SHARP CHEDDAR AND AMERICAN PALE ALE

Extra sharp cheddar and American pale ale pair well due to their complementary flavors and textures. The cheddar's bold, tangy taste and slightly crumbly texture are balanced by the hoppy bitterness and citrusy notes of the pale ale. Both the cheddar and the ale offer a nuanced depth, complementing each other without overpowering. The pale ale's malt backbone provides a subtle sweetness that pairs well with the cheese's saltiness. This combination highlights the cheddar's savory qualities and the ale's hop profile, making it perfect for both casual gatherings and refined tasting experiences.

SHAMELESSLY RICH AND CREAMY

FROMAGER D’AFFINOIS BLUE is a rich blue brie that is very similar to Germany’s Cambozola in both appearance and taste. Its mild edible rind surrounds a delicious yellow paste that is speckled with beautiful blue veins. Produced from whole milk from the farms of Massif du Pilat in the Rhône-Alpes region of France, Fromager D’Affinois Blue has a luscious velvety texture that is similar to buttercream and easily spreadable.

Its rich and robust flavor profile complements the bold and tangy characteristics of the cheese. Porters are known for their dark, roasted malt flavors, often featuring notes of chocolate, caramel, and coffee, which provide a sweet and slightly bitter contrast to the salty, pungent taste of blue cheese. This combination creates a harmonious balance on the palate, as the creamy texture and strong flavor of the blue cheese are mellowed by the smooth, malty richness of the porter. Additionally, the carbonation in the beer helps cleanse the palate between bites, enhancing the overall tasting experience and allowing the complex flavors of both the beer and cheese to shine.
