6 Beers on tap, 50+ bottles of beer, and 200+ types cheese.
I had a chance to talk to Steve of the Cheese Bar on Belmont near 61st. It’s great to talk to someone who has a passion for what they do. Steve has been selling cheese for 15 years. Steve and his wife started experimenting with pairing cheese and beer and loved the results.
“Beer pairs better with cheese than wine.” It seemed like a bold statement but he had some good points. Beer is made of grain and the animals eat grain. It isn’t a gigantic leap why they should work.
Steve has three ways to pair cheese with beer.
1) Comparative – Acid to acid, pairing bright wheat beer with Chevre,goat cheese.
