by Janet Fletcher

Overview

“An excellent guide that explains how different beers are crafted and what gives these different types their synergies with superior cheeses.” —Max McCalman, coauthor of Mastering Cheese

Gourmand Awards Winner—Beer category, USA

Cheese & Beer capitalizes on the rapidly growing audience for craft beer in the U.S. and the enthusiasm these passionate beer fans have for good cheese. The beer enthusiast who wants to know which cheeses to pair with an IPA, porter or Trappist ale can easily find a recommendation. Each style entry includes:

• Style Notes: a description of that beer style—what defines it from the brewer’s perspective, and what to expect from the beverage in the glass
• Beers to Try: Several recommended craft beers in that style, both domestic and imported. Some of the breweries included from across the country are: Boulevard Brewing (Kansas City, MO), Allagash Brewing (Portland, ME), Brooklyn Brewery (Brooklyn, NY), Firestone Walker (Paso Robles CA), Great Divide (Denver, CO), and Rogue Ales (Newport OR)
• Cheese Affinities: In general terms, what types of cheeses pair well with that style and why
• Cheeses to Try: Brief profiles of three well-distributed cheeses (domestic and imported) specifically recommended for that style and why
• More Cheeses to Try: A list of other cheeses to pair with that beer style—so that every reader should be able to find at least a couple of the recommended cheeses
•  

The introductory chapter includes general advice on pairing cheese and beer; and on selecting, storing and presenting cheese. Six themed platters give readers ideas for entertaining with beer and cheese.

“Beautiful, well-researched and tastefully written.” —Greg Koch, CEO & Co-Founder, Stone Brewing Co./Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens
