Beer, Cheese & Wine

In cooperation with: Bourgondisch Lifestyle, Bier & Co and Karakter Wijnimport.

A magnificent tasting with cheese, beer and wine.

Contemporary gastronomy often thinks about and works with (fortified) wine when combining cheese. Still, beer and cheese is a classic combination that has been forgotten for too long. In summary: Bourgondisch Lifestyle, Librije’s cheese supplier from Beverwijk, chooses beautiful cheeses. Character Wijnimport looks for a perfect wine with every cheese and Rick Kempen a perfect beer. The participant will taste all combinations and choose the tastiest combination according to him or her for each cheese.

Cheese war:
According to the classical rules of higher gastronomy, wine is usually consumed with food. Wine is a drink with complexity and great depth, and an endless variety in taste. The trick is to find a wonderful balance in the taste composition between the wine and the dish, the wine pairing. But why shouldn’t that be possible with beer? The “cheese war” is a game originally invented by an American beer brewer. A cheese selection is devised in advance. One party selects the beers, the other the wines. By tasting, a “winner” is chosen. Of course, it is not about the winner in this “war”, but about broadening the horizon and finding new, surprising combinations.
