Скачать или смотреть Di Bruno Beer + Cheese Pairings: An Ode To Philly Beer Week

We love cheese. We love Philly. We especially love eating cheese and drinking beer in Philly. Here's our ode to Philly Beer Week - one perfect cheesey, beery, pairing at a time.

Gruyere and Dark Lager -Malty, smooth and nutty: Warm, toasty flavors persist over a dense but smooth texture. Gruyere epitomizes the winter months, but can be enjoyed all year round. And perhaps it is best enjoyed with a sweet Dark Lager, whose roasted malts play perfectly against earthiness of the cheese.

Gouda and Porter - Sea salt caramel by a campfire: What cheese is more alluring than well-aged Gouda? Caramel and butterscotch notes abound over a slightly salty, crunchy bite. Paired with a great Porter, the salt serves as a perfect foil for the sweetness of the roasted malts, while the caramel tones linger in the finish.

Stilton and Stout - The Beer and Cheese Dessert Course: A perfectly balanced Stilton has flavors of fresh cream, grasses, hay and blue mold in perfect harmony. A good Stout should be equally nuanced, with a full body, hop backbone and contrasting sweetness. Together, Stilton and Stout elevate each other to heights unattainable on their own.

Farmhouse Cheddar and Pale Ale - Rustic, classic, rural: Earthy, grassy and slightly fruity up front with a long, sharp finish, Farmhouse Cheddar is one of the most noble cheeses in history. Pair it with a good, strong Pale Ale that can match the cheese's intensity and you have a sublime pairing.

Chevre and Saison - Vibrant, fresh, Springtime: Fresh goat cheese offers a clean, citric flavor with occasional floral hints and barnyard subtleties. It symbolizes Spring, especially when paired with a refreshing Saison. These two work perfectly on their own or alongside a simple, light salad.

Brie and Belgian Blond - Fruity, light and sweet: Mild, creamy and smooth, Brie is a great cheese for pairing with just about anything. Preferably, something bubbly and bright, like a good Belgian Blond. The honey sweetness and hint of spice typically found in Belgian Blondes land softly on the silky texture of the cheese.
