Cheese and Beer Night Wrap up

On Wednesday 23rd of November, 30 people crammed in to The Local BottleStore & Provisions for our 2nd Cheese and Beer evening.

Ashley Church from The Smelly Cheese Club was on hand to lead patrons through the wonderful world of cheese, and John Cope Williams of Better Beer Imports took us through a selection of his wonderful range.

With 7 cheeses matched to 7 beers, Ashley got the evening started by telling us about the first cheese - Herve Mons Ossau Iraty AOC, a delicious ewe's milk cheese that went perfectly with Bridge Road Brewers Chestnut Pilsener.

Next up was Herve Mons Camembert matched with Bridge Road Chevalier Saison, the spritzy ester saison cut through the fatty, pungent Camembert cleansing the pallet leaving you wanting more.

Following the Camember we were treated to Tomme du Chevre du Poitou matched with Bridge Road Beer de Garde, then Luigi Guffanti Gorgonzola Dolce matche with Epic Barrel aged Stout. Another Cheese from Herve Mons was next - Herve Mons Meule de Savoie, a lovely delicately fruity hard cheese from the Alpine regions of France matched with 8 Wired Sauvin Saison.

We rounded out the evening with Prefere de nos Montagnes matched with Tuatara Ardennes, and perhaps the most polarising of all, Quickes Oak Smoke Cheddar matched with 8 Wired Rewired Brown ale.

A huge thanks to Ashley, John, Nitun, Rick and all our wonderful customers who came along for a great evening of Cheese and Beer matching.
