A match made in hops heaven

Recently the Toronto Start posted a story called Beer and cheese: A match made in hops heaven.  The writer, Josh Rubin, comments that while wine and cheese might be a staple of party planners everywhere, for a truly rewarding match, knowledgeable foodies should turn to beer. 

We’re not suggesting that wine and cheese don’t go well, because they do.  But we want to highlight that beer is another good match and worthy of attention. 

If you’d like to learn more about beer and cheese pairings, make a point to attend the upcoming Beer Festival on October 15th!  It’s taking place right here in our Artisan Cheese Region at the Agricultural Museum in Stirling.  More information on the poster below.

How to taste cheese like an expert: Get a journal

Globe and Mail Article – The Spread, Sue Riedl

For the personal pleasures of cheese tasting, a private journal is essential.

I’ve looked back on my first tasting of a cheese and compared it with later tasting. I’ve thought about how I can best convey my impressions to someone reading about the cheese, and not tasting it with me. I don’t need to share scribbles like “Good with cheery pie?” with the outside world. That was a comment I wrote next to Blue de la Moutonniere on taste (and thought I am now sharing, yes, I’m slightly embarrassed).
