They’re a match made in heaven: Cheese and beer! And with so many cheeses and beers to choose from, this week’s episode of Beer Sessions Radio™ tries to come up with the best mating of all time (garnering the most votes? truffle cheese with a Saison Dupont). Host Jimmy Carbone is joined by Kevin Heald of Malt & Mold, which will be celebrating its first anniversary in the LES with a party this Saturday, May 4th, plus Anne Likes Beer and Wandering Star’s Alex Hall.
What’s the best way to serve and preserve cask ales? How do you pour the perfect growler? What’s the history of the cask? And how can you score seats to the Glastonwick Cask Ale and Music Festival? Our guests have the answers.
In addition, Steve Wildy, beverage director for Vetri Family Restaurants, calls in to talk about Philly Beer Week and his Italian beer bar, Alla Spina. There are multiple festivals and beer outings for May, plus Beer Sessions Radio™ is gearing up for Savor in June. Catch the entire episode (#161) here.
