Beer pairing with Cheese

Have you ever wondered what beer goes with what cheese ? Here is a quick cheat sheet to impress your friends at your next party.  A local classic, Molson Canadian. Best served with Canadian Cheddar     

A local classic, Molson Canadian.
Best served with Canadian Cheddar
If you have an Aged Cheddar it works better with a Blonde Ale.




Asiago cheeses are served best with a dark beer, try Richard's Dark, it's a good match.





For you Havarti fans, a good Dutch Heineken is a great match!

Try pairing a low cost Coors Light with Provolone. Neither are a stong flavor and work well together.

 Looking for something to impress, try a Richard's White, with Camembert.

Have you ever had a drink from a boot ? Learn how it all became !

In the sixteenth-century German fraternities would settle their differences via sword-fight duels. Following the duels, the students would stitch their wounds up with horse hairs and reconcile the differences while drinking beer. As the tradition went, a fraternity brother's own boot would be filled with beer and drunk while the members would cheere him on. The advent of glass blowing allowed the drinking to take on a more hygienic and appetizing structure. The boot, called a "stiefel" in German, traditionally holds two liters of  beer, and today is commonly made of glass.
