At risk of sounding like an ad - it's not, though I have done some work in the past for Black Pearl, which is where they may have gotten this idea? Maybe, though their GM, aka Big Cheese, Peter Gross is a long-term beer and cheese man too. Anyway, this is a brilliant idea. Beer and cheese are one of my favourite things in the world and Black Pearl Epicure are pitching to bars and restaurants cheese packs designed to be matched with beers. I am trying to find out whether these are available as retail options too, though scanning the list, I know I have bought many of these cheeses in the retail shop so they should be. If you do want to play this at home, stop by their retail outlet, or some of Brisbane's finer delis.
If you are a bar or restaurant that likes the idea, get in touch with Black Pearl...then give me a call and I'll match them to your beer list (for a small fee, naturally!)
Traditionally it has been Cheese and Wine, but the Europeans have known the wonderful pairing of Beer and Cheese for centuries, whether it be the simple Ploughman’s lunch or the Swiss delight of dipping potato in cheese, it is a marriage made in heaven.
Black Pearl can help you and your customers experience that tradition again……
