Bottle Conditioned

To a lover of great beer, it doesn’t come as a surprise to hear that beer and cheese go together. This pairing surely beats anything that wine can do with cheese.

One of the greatest (if not the greatest) spokespersons for beer and food pairing is the head brewer at Brooklyn Brewery, Garrett Oliver. Garrett has written a great book called “The Brewmaster’s Table”, which I highly recommend. It never leaves my coffee table, and it’s marked up, dogearred, bookmarked, tattered and torn. This book is truly a reference book for food and beer.

This past week, Garrett delivered a presentation on food and cheese pairing at the American Cheese Society’s conference in Vermont. Garrett does these types of demonstrations often, and it’s great to see him being so active about bringing knowledge of the value of beer and food pairing to so many people, so often.

If you haven’t already seen it, check out the clip below from the documentary American Brew. This shows Garrett in action at one of these demonstrations, and it’s pretty damn cool to see him in action.
