Quit your Wine-ing.


Let us talk briefly about wine. I drink it, occasionally, every night or so, a glass or three. But when I'm pairing up some cheese, well I reach for a nice beer. Now I say nice beer cause Miller High Life isn't gonna cut it. Not ta say that the champagne of beers is anything but perfection on a hot summer night for chasin down big old burgers and rings. But when it comes to a special hunk of fromage - ales, lagers and stouts can't be beat. Plus the fermentation process that barley and hops go through are closer chemically to the fermentation process lactic sugars undertake in cheese when compared to grape fermentation in wine.
Wine is just harder to match with cheese and this stuff shouldn't be so difficult. The easier the pairing is to think of, the better it usually ends up. So the next time you find yourself with a nice hunk of washed rind beautifulness or a hearty English cheddar, flip that cork screw over and crack yourself a nice barley pop.
Because U Deserve What Every Individual Should Enjoy Regularly.
