I‘d argue that few things in the world pair better than cheese and beer. With that in mind The Wine and Cheese Place on Forsyth will be holding a beer and cheese pairing this Thursday, September 2nd from 6pm-7:30pm. Each pairing has been hand selected by Certified Sommelier, Angela Ortmann (STLwinegirl) to show you the excellent possibilities that beer provides when pairing to cheese.

Here’s a list of the beer and cheese pairings:

• Double creme paired with Drie Fonteinen Oude Kriek
• Aged goat paired with DePreof La Grande Blanche and Boulevard Two Jokers Double Wit
• Pecorino cheese paired with Sierra Nevada Tumbler Brown and Corsendonk Brown Ale
• English Cheddar paired with Southern Tier 2XIPA and Lagunitas Hop Stoopid
• Blue Cheese paired with Amager Batch One Danish Barley Wine and Hofstetten Barley Wine

Tickets for this event are $30 and can be made by calling 314-727-8788 or via the TW&CP website.

This was not only another fun night thanks to the crew at Starr’s Market but also a sold out one. I’m glad to see more people attending not only the beer dinners at Starr’s, but beer dinner as a whole. The actual food this month was not nearly as good as the April dinner, but it was still adequate. But I thought the pairings this month were outstanding. It took a beer like the Southern Tier Unearthly DIPA, a beer that I don’t quite care for, and turn it into something I loved with the dinner. Here are some photos:
