Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a great show about beer and cheese! This week on Beer Sessions Radio™, host Jimmy Carbone is joined by some great cheesemongers and beer makers, along with purveyors of both! From Shelton Brothers Imports, Joel Shelton teams with Alex Foschi of Im Fuchschen (an Altbier from Germany getting its NYC launch this week). They are joined by Lauren McDowell “Editor in Cheese” of Cheese Rank, a specialty cheese information website; Chris George of Cheese Journeys (a cheese tourism company); and Phoebe Connell of Lois (also manager at ABC Beer Co.).
Lauren offers up a three-cheese primer (noting, of course, that you want to pick your beer first!):
- Cabot Clothbound (aged at Jasper Hill) – she calls this the ‘perfect beer cheese”
- A fatty, sheep’s milk cheese from the Pyrenees region of France
- A freshly made goat cheese to pair with a lighter beer
Listen in on this week’s episode for a full discussion of the various ways to pair beer and cheese and why beer is superior to other beverages when joining forces with cheese!
