YLBW: Cheese & Beer Pairing @ LauderAle

I have to say I’m not a huge beer person, but These beer events are slowly turning me into a beer lover! Actually it’s just a craft beer love and not just regular beer from the grocery store. It was great getting to sit with a new Unilocaler and a couple of Unilocalers that I’ve seen at events but hadn’t had a chance to get to know as well. This was the perfect opportunity.
As for the beer and cheese, who knew that cheese paired better with craft beer than wine?! It turns out it is better than wine and cheese. I loved all the cheeses and beers but my favorite was the coconut porter and the La Niña beers. The La Niña had mango and habanero pepper flavors. The mango hits right away with the pepper leaving a hint of spice in the back of your throat. I loved the fact that we were served a flight and got to try a few different flavors beer. Along with the tour of the brewing facility, it was an awesome experience. There was a lion chalk art on the wall that was so cool that I seriously wanted to steal the wall and take the art with me.
Everyone was great and really knew their beers and cheese. Whole Foods gave me a whole new appreciation for gourmet cheeses. Then again it wasn’t hard because anything with cheese it good in my book.
I can’t wait to introduce my beer loving friends to this place. So glad I was able to attend this event. Thanks Blue, LauderAle and Whole Foods for such a tasty event.

At first hearing this, most people would have the same response: «Beer? Beer with cheese? I thought you’re supposed to drink wine with cheese.» Well, obviously there is no denying how wonderfully wine and cheese pairs together. But too many people don’t even know what they don’t know about the complexities and varieties of styles of beer. This event sounded great and it lived up to the hype (in my head that is)!
I have been to LauderAle a handful of times before, but that did not keep me from getting totally and completely lost… again! My GPS was literally cursing at me for 20 minutes! I finally arrived and most everyone was seated. I joined a table of some new faces and we enjoyed our pairings together.
I really loved every beer, cheese and pairing! When I host bottle shares, I always provide a variety of munchies to kickstart the palate to really be able to taste the next beer. I found that cheese was an excellent choice all around.
The first course involved LauderAle’s Sizzler Saison paired with aged goat milk gouda. The next pairing included La Nina with Wensleydale cheese. The beer itself was awesome and unique with flavors of habanero and mango. The next pairing was the Monkey Road Red with a cranberry cheddar. This was the perfect example of a bold cheese balancing the flavors of the beer. The last course was LauderAle’s most famous Coconut Porter along with an apple-​smoked cheddar. I have tried the Coconut Porter many times before, but this was the most I enjoyed it with this pairing.
Once the pairing was over, I ordered a flight of beer. The flight presentation is very original. I loved all four of the beers I tried. Best of all, they were discounted by 50% for the promotion of Unilocal’s Beer Week.
The owner of LauderAle, was very gracious to open his place to us. He was an excellent host, explainer of beers, and tour guide extraordinaire. Thank you to Whole Foods, Kyle and Blue for an awesome event!

I have always liked LauderAle, but after this event and pairing their yummy beers with succulent cheeses, my love for them grew some more.
This event was simply delightful and both LauderAle and Whole Foods just spoiled us rotten. I am like a little mouse, give me cheese and I will inhale it… no matter which type it is, I will surely love it, and such was the case throughout the entire night. Every cheese that came to my table was better than the one before, and they simply made me smile.
Our first beer was the Sizzler, which was paired with a smoked gouda goat cheese (I did not think that could be possible!) Now, I am not a huge fan of the goat cheeses because it is a bit hard for me to get used to the taste of the goat milk, BUT BUT BUT this one was right on point. The smokiness of the gouda completely tamed the pungent taste of the goat cheese, and created the perfect balance of flavors.
Then, La Nina came by with a cranberry cheese, and that was one of my favorite combos of the night. I am far from being an lover the of spicy drinks, and while this beer was a mango habanero brew, it perfectly paired with the creamy cranberry cheese. I loved this combo so much, that I even surprised myself hehe.
Our pairing was then interrupted briefly by an awesome tour of the brewery, and not for anything, but this was one of the best brewery tours I have been too. Our guide was super enthusiastic about the beer and the whole process it goes through, and the fact we were all encouraged to ask questions, made everything super fun and interactive.
We then continued our pairing with a cheddar cheese with oranges and cranberry, and OH MY GOSH! That combo was mind blowing! These cheese was everything I want in life and I am glad we were given a couple of extra pieces because I swear I was on the verge of stealing cheese from everyone in the table lol Now, while the cheese was AMAZEBALLS, I did not love the beer it paired with as much. Don’t get me wrong, the beer was good but I am not a big fan of those super hoppy and bitter beers, and that is exactly what The Monkey Red Road beer was, so it’s nothing against this beer, but I am just not a fan of these types of beers.
The best was left for last, when they closed the night with their C. Porter and a smokey cheese. I mean, WOAH! C. Porter already is my favorite brew from LauderAle, and pairing it with that cheese, simply elevated it’s status in my book. Of course, no Unilocal event would be complete without mingling with the coolest people in town, so sitting next to lovely ladies like Hope, Jen, Cherine, Greshka and Julie surely made the night way better!
Thank you Blue, LauderAle and Whole Foods for making our tummies and taste buds HAPPY HAPPY HOPPY!

Don’t be afraid if on your first time going to Lauderale you feel like you are lost! If you feel that way you are going on the right direction!
This brewery seems to be lost at its location, hidden in between an industrial area close to the Port in Ft. Lauderdale one would never imagine that there is a relaxing cozy brewery with delish craft beers to try from.
We were invited for an interesting pairing event of beer and cheeses. Lauderdale and The Whole Foods sat together and came up with a special set of pairings to blow our minds and most certainly give the usual wine and cheese pairing a rest so we can explore new infinite ways to taste craft beers well accompanied by the right cheese.
I was surprised how adorable the set up of picnic tables on their outside grass area combined with little lights! It felt so cozy and relaxing. The weather also helped us to enjoy the evening as it was so pleasant! Each pairing started with a little one on one of both cheese and beer, and we could all see that all the organizers invested time and thought to come up with all the pairings provided.
We were also awarded a tour of the brewery where Kyle explained their brewing process! It was so nice because we had had the brewing class the night before and all made sense! The evening was stelar and so pleasant that we decided just stay and enjoy it even more! I actually purchased my first growler of Sizzler, my favorite beer with Lauderale! I am definitely coming back to experience some of their various events!
Congrats on another successful event!

Brilliant idea for an event– beer and cheese pairing doesn’t get any better, that is unless you add candied nuts and salami ;) Yes!
After finding this place –my GPS (like other Unilocalers) took me on federal highway north instead of take the left and we would’ve had a better chance to find the place!
LauderAle such a cool vibe, I love the strung lights outdoors above the picnic tables, boho/​hipster thing going on, garage door open, stacks of barley and other ingredients in the back beside the shiny barrels to make beer, graffiti mural wall, screams new hotspot.
I got set up at the girls and Hiram table. Lindsay, Greshka, Cherine, Jennifer, and Hiram. The crowd was pretty mellow most the night, the tasting set the mood up perfectly.
Whole Foods ft Lauderdale’s knowledgeable cheese monger carefully selected cheese pairings to compliment the craft beers that LauderAle made.
I got to be in the first group, it was great Kyle the owner showed us around behind the scenes of the beer making process. A lot of work and yeast eating going on.
The cheese was delish ! My fav was the first one with the first beer: the Sizzler Saison beer (means season in French;)) the cheese was called Midnight Moon Goats Milk Gouda. yum
Wensleydale cranberry cheese was unexpected. It was slightly sweet, crumbly soft texture, like a mature cheese cake.
Back to the beer! The second beer paired with the cranberry cheese was la Nina Mango Habenero. Yes my second fav beer. It was very slight in spice (similar to ginger), and the mango taste was just addictive YES.
Next was Monkey Red Road. I liked the dark beer with hints of fruit.
The cheese paired with was Hennings Cranberry Orange Cheddar. I wasn’t a fan at all
Last pairing was the Coconut Porter with Carr Valley Apple Smoked Cheddar. The beer was coconutty and I’m not much a coconut fan, but if you are — this dark beer has it going on!
The Smoked Cheddar is another great cheese so good! If you love that smoked taste this cheddar feels like a cook out BBQ.
I have cheese shopping to do, with the holidays, it’s always a great idea to bring with!
In love with LauderAle, not only are we like ‘finally someone came up with that name!!’, but it’s a cool place to throw events or hang out to get away from everything.
Thank you Blue and Sara for setting up this amazing event.
Thanks to Whole Foods for the knowledge in cheese.
LauderAle keep doing what you’re doing, we appreciate the tour and the beer flights and inviting us to your Space.

My second UnilocalLBW event was very cool! This event was a unique surprise! I never would’ve thought beer and cheese would go together but it blew my mind. The location was a bit scary and hard to find. It’s in an industrial area with alot of warehouses. There were picnic tables set up outside and little string lights hung. Very romantic and there was a nice breeze going. Though I got eaten alive by mosquitoes, I had an awesome group at my table to make it better. Kudos to Brent for bring the only male here! He’s a celebrity, maybe you’ve seen him… He’s an actor and played The Hulk… Hehe.
Now for the awesomeness dairy and carbonation mixes. David was our Cheesemonger from Whole Foods and he know just about everything on God’s green earth about cheese. Along side the owner of LauderAle, Kyle, they broke down each Pairing and the history of the products.
We started off the night with the Midnight Moon Goat Milk Gouda, which was crunchy and nutty. It was paired with the Sizzler Saison (meaning seasonal). The light beer brought out the creaminess of the cheese. It was my first time eating goat milk gouda but I loved the sharpness it had.
Next was the Wensleydale with cranberry. This was my favorite. It was smooth and sweet. Almost like a desert. The beer pairing I was nervous with, the La Nina Mango Habanero. Being that I can’t handle any sort of spiciness, the habenero kick scared me but it was actually very mild. The sweetness of the cheese brought out the sweetness of the mango.
Third in line was the Hennings Cranberry Orange Cheddar with the Monkey Road Red. I love cheddar but this is my first time having it taste like citrus. Very refreshing! We also had some candied pecans which were delicious. The red ale was not one of my favorites. It was too much like an ipa for me. But the name is very cool, it came from a road that people use to party on before Sept. 11^th and there were monkeys in the back forest area!
The last pairing was the Carr Valley Apple Smoked White Cheddar Cheese hand-​rubbed with paprika with the C. PORTER. My all time favorite beer for the night. I love dark beers and the coconut flavor it this Porter was so pure and amazing. It was like drinking an almond joy. The cheese had a smokey BBQ taste to me but the fact that it was hand rubbed made it unique. Thank you to whoever took the time to make such a delicacy.
Overall a great experience especially for someone who doesn’t frequently drink beer. It really opened up my eyes. Kyle did a great tour and I’m very excited to come back and try their other brews. Great job from Blue as always and thank you to Sarah and Julie for their hardwork as well!

I had never been to LauderAle before, so it was a real undertaking finding where it is. After several attempts, I was glad Diane and I left early. Luckily, we made it in plenty of time.
What a fantastic idea having a Beer and Cheese pairing (combining two of my favorite things to put in my mouth). They took us on a tour of the place and told the history of LauderAle.
There were several servings of cheese with the appropriate beer to go with it in a wonderful flight of 4 beers. I loved every one of them! Diane and I ate on a picnic table with Jeanne, Katie and Paul, Unilocal friends who share our love for beer and cheese.
It was a great time with many other enthusiastic Unilocalers who could barely contain their joy with the food and drink. The warehouse with barrels of beer was quite attractive, a very bizarre location for a brewery, but I’m not complaining, I’m drinking with gusto!

I had such a fun time during YLBW! It was my first time at LauderAle for the beer and cheese pairing event.
We got there a little early and were able to go inside and take a look around. Cool artwork, warehouse vibe, lots of brews to choose from… Definitely a locals place! (Who else could find it?!?)
We were at small picnic tables outside with about 6 Unilocalers each. Always fun to meet newbies and see friends! We were immediately welcomed and heard lots of interesting information regarding the cheeses from our local cheesemonger at the Fort Lauderdale Whole Foods, David. He knows his stuff! Before each pairing, we heard how each cheese complemented the beers. Kyle, brewmaster/​owner of LauderAle, spoke about all the beers and how they complemented the cheeses. It was interesting to see the tour and how he prefers the more traditional ingredients in beer, but still gives freedom to the team to try new and interesting flavors! It is definitely hot right now.
My favorite was the first pairing. The goats milk Gouda was nice and sharp. The beer was called the Sizzler, a Saison pale ale. I also enjoyed the candied pecans! It was also fun when they brought by an extra few pieces of cheese to munch on.
I would definitely consider heading back to Lauderale to try their flights! I’m really enjoying trying things that are a little out of my comfort zone. Thanks to all the amazing staff at LauderAle, Whole Foods cheesemongers, and our amazing BPB Unilocal team Blue and Sara!
See you soon!

When it comes to cheese pairings it seems like beer and cheese is the underdog. Everybody talks about wine and cheese, it’s getting all the headlines, but I am a new convert to beer and cheese. The same can be said about LauderAle, in the growing South Florida craft beer landscape this upstart warehouse tap room is the underdog to the Wilton Manors behemoth. LauderAle stays unique by keeping it simple and keeping it local. The name says it all, LauderAle, clever, simple & local. Most of their beers stick to the 4 basic ingredients (water, yeast, barley, and hops). The tap handles reference the FPL smokestacks that were recently demolished. The beer names and styles speak to local weather (La Niña) and local customs (Monkey Road).
On a perfect Fort Lauderdale evening we sat in the backyard on picnic tables with Unilocalers old and new and listened to stories about beer and cheese while we sampled both. It was wonderful to hear stories from the local Whole Foods Cheesemonger David. His endless enthusiasm for the history of his cheeses was matched by his endless bag of samples. All the cheeses were delicious but that first cheese, the goat gouda was definitely my favorite. Brewmaster Kyle was able to match David’s enthusiasm and provided a great tour and great beers. The best of the beers was the Monkey Road Red (both in flavor and in story!) Each beer was helped by each cheese and each cheese was helped by each beer. That was the beauty of these pairings.
The same of course can be said of Sara & Blue. A wonderful pair who put together a wonderful event.

¹²⁄₉ — BEER & CHEESE PAIRING EVENT
Beer & Cheese… what a beautiful marriage!
I couldn’t think of a better place, time of year and setting for this event. Picnic tables under hanging lights, set in a grassy area right outside the brewery. David, Cheesemonger from Whole Foods Ft. Lauderdale, was our expert for the evening along with Kyle Jones, owner of Lauderdale.
Our first pairing was the Sizzler, saison, Belgian-​style beer, that had a different name but got the name from a customer who called it Sizzler, and the name stuck. The Sizzler was paired with Midnight Moon Aged Goat Milk Gouda. The beer was light, the perfect balance for this cheese. Lucky for us, Whole Foods brought so much of it that we ended up having seconds. David asked the table if we wanted a second piece… Brent M. said it best «At this table, the answer is always going to be yes!»
Second pairing was La Nina, Mango Habanero blonde with Wensleydale with Cranberries. Yes, Yes, Yes! The beer flavor was very complimentary to the buttery richness of the cheese. La Nina, is LauderAle #1 seller, had a great mango aroma and then it Judo Chopped you with the habanero at the end. Perfectly named «The Girl.» This was my favorite beer and my favorite cheese, FAVORITE PAIRING of the evening!
Third pairing was the Monkey Road Red, an American Red Ale, almost a red IPA with the Hennings Cranberry-​Orange Cheddar (seasonal). David also gave us candied pecans and sausage to go along with this pairing. The Monkey Road Red was a bit on the hoppier side. The cheddar did not disappoint with the sharp taste. Kyle let us know that «back in the day» before ⁹⁄₁₁ and all the security in Port Everglades, teenagers used to meet up at Monkey Road to party. He named this beer Monkey Road Red to tie local history to the brand. He even said he has seen a few monkeys in the area since he’s been in LauderAle.
Fourth pairing was C Porter (Coconut) with Carr Valley Apple Smoked White Cheddar Cheese hand-​rubbed with paprika. For non-​dark beer drinkers this was a surprisingly great tasting beer, so smooth with the coffee and coconut flavor. The cheese had a smokey flavor that balanced well with the porter.
The entire event was a huge success. Always a well-​organized event by Unilocal,our awesome CM Blue A, Sarah and Julie, the folks are LauderAle, great staff!, and our Cheesemonger Extraordinaire David from Whole Foods Ft. Lauderdale.
***This will be the new «HOPPY HOUR», going to Whole Foods grabbing some cheese and beer. Let the ultimate beer & cheese pairing begin!!!

My first event of Unilocal’s Local Beer Week! What a great and educational event! Beer + Cheese = Happiest Unilocaler around! Thanks LauderAle and Whole Foods! Who knew beer and cheese would go together so well. Kyle (owner) of LauderAle was a great tour guide and host for this fairly new brewery; I think he said they were just a little over a year old. He even took us back for a tour of the brewery and guided us on how they brew beer, even answering all of our questions with a smile (and we had many lol). The people at whole foods definitely know their cheeses and they paired them up exceptionally well with the delicious brews at LauderAle, it was very hard to pick a favorite cause I loved them ALL!
BEER + CHEESE
First up
Sizzler Saison Beer (Belgian style beer with pepper and clove) with Midnight Moon Aged Goat Milk Gouda (#1 winner of the night for me cheese wise)
The beer was smooth and it went perfectly with the cheese. It’s not your average goat cheese which is creamier; the added Gouda gives it more of a salty parmesan flavor. Absolutely LOVED IT! Side note: Kyle told us on the beer tour that the grains they use give this beer a natural clove and pepper flavor and it’s not something they have to add to the beer. Kinda cool!
Second
La Niña Beer (Mango/​Habanero blond) with Wensleydale cheese with cranberries
SERIOUSLY! WOW! I loved this beer so much I skipped the flight deal after the event and just ordered this beer I loved it that much! It wasn’t very spicy like most beers with added heat and it was so smooth and perfect with the amazing creamy cheese with cranberries!
Third
Monkey Road Red Beer (American Red Ale dry hopped with simcoe, almost a red IPA with notes of passion fruit and slightly bitter) with Hennings Cranberry-​Orange Cheddar.
First of all THE CHEESE!!! You could totally pick up the orange and cranberry flavors. One did not over power the other. I felt like the beer and cheese pairings just got better and better as the night went on. The beer was good probably my 4^th favorite of the night but the CHEESE! YUM!
Last but not least Fourth
C Porter Beer (Coconut Porter) with Carr Valley Apple Smoked Cheddar
Ok Vanessa G. nailed the description of this beer better than anyone, it tasted like an almond joy bar but the flavors were not overpowering at all. I really loved this beer! The cheese is double smoked and hand rubbed with paprika which you can obviously see and taste. I was curious how they double smoked the cheddar without melting the cheese and the whole foods cheese guy (sorry I can’t remember your name!) said that they cold smoke it so the heat and the cheese are separated which I thought was really cool! Seriously learned a lot while enjoying delicious beer and cheese!
In between tours and tastings we were also given other items to munch on like candied pecans and salami slices that I gladly accepted along with extra pieces of cheese. Who the heck says no to extra cheese anyways?! We also got a cool Unilocal Beer glass to take home!
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH to LauderAle and Whole Foods for an exceptional event and education not only on beer but also showing me how well beer actually pairs well with cheese!
Side Note #2: I will be back to try and master that ping pong table that kicked Cherine A. and my butt since we could barely keep the ball on the table LOL!
BIG thanks to BLUE and Sara for another awesome event!

First things first… THANK YOU!!! Cherine for rescuing me from my crazy GPS, and getting me to the event. So grateful!
And, thank you, Blue for welcoming me even after being 15 minutes late and making sure I didn’t miss that firs tasting.
Speaking of which, SO glad I go to try that… the Midnight Moon Aged Goat Milk Gouda (provided by Whole Foods) must have been my favorite of them all. So much, I have it typed on my phone to go buy it (again and again). This was paired with LauderAle’s Sizzler Saison. I really liked this beer. It’s easy to drink, light, yup, I would go back and order it.
Second Tasting was La Niña beer with Wesleydale with Cranberries Cheese. Loved this cheese also, the sweetness of the fruit comes through, making it taste almost like dessert. The beer was one of my favorites of the night. Mango habanero blonde ale, refreshing and it has that kick at the end. Highly recommend this one.
Third Tasting — Monkey Road Red, paired with the Hennings Cranberry-​Orange Cheddar.
I’m not a fan of hoppy beers but this one wasn’t bad. The cheese paired really well with it.
Last tasting and another favorite beer of the night, the C. Porter. This is a stout but I did not find it heavy at all. The coconut flavor is amazing.
This was paired with a delicious Carr Valley Apple Smoked Cheddar.
Between tastings we got the chance to get a tour of the brewery, where Kyle (owner and our tour guide) explained their process of making beer and flavors they offer. Him and the staff, including the guys from Whole Foods, were really friendly and ready for any questions we had. The laid back, casual outside seating, and how everyone there treated us like friends, plus the great beers and cheese, made this one of my favorite events.
I keep learning with Unilocal,and finding more things and places I like.
I keep making new friends, and able to share all these with others.
This was my last official event for Local Beer Week and it was Amazing! but, I still have more flights to try, and take advantage of this generous promotion. See you at the (participating) breweries… Cheers! ;)

Well, I can cross beer and cheese pairing off my bucket list! I’m reading the other reviews and loving the fact that this was pretty much everyone’s first ever beer and cheese pairing. Truth be told though, I’ll stick to the cheese and wine combo lol, but I’m loving the fact that Unilocal is opening my eyes to the craft beer circuit. And yes, I’m still not a full on beer convert, but I am finding a few things that I LOVE and lots more than I like.
I arrived early (one of the few people who have driven in this confusing area before lol) and headed inside to check out the place while Blue and the team got the outside set up for us. The outside area was absolutely beautiful with picnic tables on the grass and strung up lights. I like to make it a point to sit with people I don’t know as well, so I grabbed a table with Marqus, Tim, Andrew and Frances. True, I do know Marqus pretty well, but this gave me an opportunity to talk more with Tim, and meet Andrew and Frances for the first time!
After some introductions with our Whole Food’s cheese expert and LauderAle owner Kyle we got down to work.
THE PAIRINGS –
**Sizzler — saison, Belgian style beer, black pepper and clove with Midnight Moon Aged Goat Milk Gouda. Definitely my favorite cheese by FAR. I’ve actually had this cheese before at a few wine pairing events and been in love. Pretty good beer as well. My second favorite of the evening.
**La Niña — mango habanero blonde with Wensleydale with Cranberries. My absolute favorite beer. So good that I even got it again with my flight after the event. Never thought about the heat of a pepper coming through a beer, but really this is amazing. Cheese, that’s another story lol. I wasn’t a fan much lol.
**Monkey Road Red — American red ale dry hopped with simcoe, almost a red IPA so slightly bitter with notes of passion fruit with Hennings Cranberry-​Orange Cheddar. This beer was a bit too «beerish» for my liking, but I loved the pairing with the cheese. The cheese definitely brought out different notes in the beer itself. The cheese was pretty good, loved the addition of the orange.
**C Porter — Coconut Porter with Carr Valley Apple Smoked Cheddar. Another beer that was too «beerish» for me, but I did appreciate the coconut flavors. I’d highly recommend this beer to anyone who likes Porters with some interesting flavors. Everyone loved this cheese, and I did like it, but after the Midnight Moon my loyalty was already sold lol.
THE TOUR–
Between beers 3 and 4 my group headed off on a brewery tour with owner Kyle. This wasn’t my first brewery tour, and by this point I have the basics down pat, but it’s always nice to see each place’s spin on it all. Also learned more about the yeast itself than I have learned before, and I’m pretty sure cultivating yeast may be the job for me lol.
I loved the vibe of LauderAle (and I’m really kicking myself for not coming here sooner, especially when I definitely live closer to any other Unilocaler in attendance to this brewery), so I stuck around afterwards to check out more of their beers.
The staff of both LauderAle, and of course our cheese experts from Whole Foods were great.
Thanks Blue and Sara for throwing another awesome event and always letting us experience new things. Truly, without Unilocal there is NO way I ever would have thought to do a beer and cheese pairing!

Another great event! Beer + cheese = greatness! I did get lost getting to LauderAle so I was late, but once i finally made it in I was in for a treat. We tries four different beers. My favorites were La Nina which was a mango/​habanero light brew, and the coconut porter, which was a dark one. Really good. We had cheeses from Whole Foods, I loves them all! Cheese is my favorite thing after tacos!
I met some great people and had a great time while learning about beer and cheese, and also where the term Unilocal came from, cool stuff. It always amaze me how Blue put these great events together. I’m definitely coming back with the hubby for taco and mariachi night!

Unilocal elite game strong! Totally impressed once again by the effort Unilocal puts into their events. This happened to be my first beer wk outing and I wasn’t let down. LauderALE was super hard to find, but I feel like that’s actually a plus for them Bc it has that certain hidden gem appeal to it.
Shout out to whole foods for making my cheese dreams come true! The cheese/​beer pairings were all so delicious! I cannot even put a finger on the one I fancied best! I did enjoy the cranberry cheese a little more than the rest, but I am no cheese snob (they are are delish in my book). The weather was also perfect for an outdoor event and I know everyone at my table had a a lot of laughs and an awesome time!
