Beer and Cheese from Aged to Blue: What to Choose
Pairing beer and cheese is one of the most surprising discoveries for anyone who loves quality food. Craft beer, with its variety of styles, offers far more pairing possibilities than wine, thanks to its carbonation, which cleanses the palate, and its aromatic notes, which interact with the richness, saltiness, and complexity of cheeses.
Fresh Cheeses → Witbier or Blanche
Mozzarella, ricotta, stracchino, and robiola call for light, delicate beers. A Belgian Witbier with notes of citrus and coriander enhances the freshness of the milk without overpowering it. Discover our craft light beers →
Semi-Hard Cheeses → Lager or Pale Ale
Asiago, Fontina, Montasio, and Gouda pair perfectly with a craft Lager or a Pale Ale. The clean flavor and slight bitterness of the hops enhance the milky sweetness of these cheeses.
Aged Cheeses → IPA or Amber Beer
Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano, and aged pecorino require beers with character. An IPA with resinous hops or an Amber Beer with caramel notes creates a contrasting pairing that enhances both. Explore our craft IPAs →
Blue Cheeses → Stout or Porter
Gorgonzola, Roquefort, and Stilton are intense cheeses that find their ideal partners in dark beers. A creamy Stout or a Porter with notes of chocolate and coffee balances the pungent saltiness of blue cheese. Discover our Dark Beers →
Goat Cheeses → Saison or Belgian Beer
The characteristic acidity and aromatic profile of goat cheeses pair wonderfully with a dry, spicy Saison or a Belgian Tripel. A refined pairing for special occasions.
