PACIFIC ROCK CHEESE
with an earthy, spicy IPA.

Buttery, earthy
SAINT-HONORÉ BRIE 
cheese goes wonderfully with a full-bodied Belgian Tripel, known for its spicy and citrusy notes.

Chef's Tips

GOAT CHEESES go well with earthy sides like nuts, apples, and olives.

Serve SOFT BLOOMY RIND OR WASHED RIND CHEESES with pears or sweet pickles.

FIRM CHEESES go well with dry fruits, nuts, mushrooms and pickles.

BLUE CHEESES are divine with honey, figs or roasted red pepper.
