Fixin’ to host a good, old-fashioned shindig? Bust out the rustic, deep and crusty flavors of aged gouda and Alpine cheeses. If you don’t have any sweet tea on hand, sip on bigger-bodied whites, medium reds, malty beers or whiskey straight up. As for the vittles, rustle up some milk chocolate, roasted nuts and dried fruit for sturdy, simple flavors that will stand by your jams.
Feeling blue isn’t always a bad thing, especially when it comes to cheese. Rich and savory cheeses like Stilton boast a distinct depth of flavor that just might make you rethink what it means to sing the blues. When it comes to pairings, jazz things up with sweet wines like sauternes or port, IPAs or stout, and vodka-based cocktails or sweeter liqueurs. Throw in some honey, fig jam, candied walnuts and hearty, rustic breads, or have fun and improvise.
What better way to hang out this fall than with food, friends and a few delicious combos? If you're into craft beer and delicious, fresh baked pie, try these fun pairings for sweet and sour, caramel and malt, or spicy and sweet goodness.
Feed your appetite for destruction with STRONG, HARD and AGGRESSIVE cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano and SHARP aged cheddar. Wash it all down with a swig of a BIG red, BITTER IPA, FIERY cocktail or anything spiked. As for the nosh pit, sink your teeth into flavor-packed picks like SOUR apples, SALTY salami and RICH roasted nuts. Let the headbanging begin.
Sophisticated, elegant and complex cheeses like Manchego, Fontina and firm goat cheese are the very definition of good taste. Enjoy with an ensemble of Marcona almonds, jamón serrano, dried fruit, rustic crackers and honeycomb, then complete your magnum opus with well-balanced reds, oaked whites, malty beers or (if you’re feeling fortissimo) tequila-based cocktails.
