Mmmm Cheese & Beer!

Our table/display at Brewer's Plate

I know this post is a bit overdue, but I still wanted to write something about my experience at the Brewer’s Plate at the Wychwood Barns in Toronto on April 6. 

Rooted in slow food principles, Brewer’s Plate brings a number of Ontario chefs and restaurants together to pair spectacular locally grown and produced foods with Ontario craft beers.  What a novel idea!  Local food and yummy local craft beer! 

Along with fellow Artisan Cheese Region Ambassador Stephen Paul, we hosted a table at this event in partnership with Barley Days Brewery.  We provided Maple Dale cheese curd for people to sample partnered with a choice of one of four different Barley Days’ beers.  Our curd was a big hit, and so was the concept of partnering cheese with beer.

For a bit more information on this event, here’s an interview we found with one of the event organizers Chris Lowry:
