Welcome to Steve's Advanced Beer Pairing Theory

A comprehensive guide to the art of pairing cheese with beer, as dictated by Steve.

Steve's Top 5 Cheese and Beer Pairings:

• 1. Brie with Saffron IPA

  Steve says: "This pairing is a classic. The floral notes of the IPA complement the creamy brie perfectly."

• 2. Roquefort with Dark Stout

  Steve says: "The bold, mysterious flavors of the Roquefort are a match made in heaven for the rich, dark stout."

• 3. Parmesan with Citrusy Pilsner

  Steve says: "The bright, zesty notes of the pilsner cut through the richness of the parmesan like a hot knife through butter."

• 4. Cheddar with Smoky Porter

  Steve says: "The smoky, malty flavors of the porter complement the sharp, tangy notes of the cheddar perfectly."

• 5. Goat Cheese with Spicy Saison

  Steve says: "The light, airy texture of the goat cheese is the perfect canvas for the spicy, fruity notes of the saison."
