Among them are Saison beers of Belgium (often referred to as farmhouse ales when made elsewhere) paired with Gruy\u00e8re, Comt\u00e9 or an American-made Alpine style cheese like Pleasant Ridge Reserve. The beer is usually light in body, with a bright, lively carbonation, and complex but subtle flavors. A good Alpine has a silky texture and an array of flavors that go from nutty to meaty and savory.\u00a0 I\u2019ve put them together over and over again, in various combinations and they pretty much never disappoint.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>What is Alpine Cheese?<\/h2>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Italian Fontina Val D&#8217;Aosta DOP<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Emmental AOP <em>read more about <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheeseprofessor.com\/blog\/emmentaler-aop-swiss-cheese\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Emmental<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Raclette <em>read more about <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheeseprofessor.com\/blog\/reading-raclette\"><em>Rac<\/em><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheeseprofessor.com\/blog\/reading-raclette\" target=\"_blank\"><em>l<\/em><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheeseprofessor.com\/blog\/reading-raclette\"><em>ette<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Comt\u00e9 <em>read more about <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheeseprofessor.com\/blog\/what-is-comte\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Comt\u00e9<\/em><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheeseprofessor.com\/blog\/what-is-comte\"> <\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Appenzeller<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Beaufort<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Little Mountain from Roelli Cheese Haus, made in Wisconsin<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Le Gruy\u00e8re AOP <em>read more about <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheeseprofessor.com\/blog\/american-vs-swiss-gruyere-court-ruling\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Gruy\u00e8re<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Fritzenhaus Appenzeller PDO\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Hornkuhkase, a Swiss specialty<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Whitney from Jasper Hill Farm (Alpine style) made in Vermont<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Pleasant Ridge Reserve, (Alpine style) made in Wisconsin <em>read more about <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheeseprofessor.com\/blog\/pleasant-ridge-reserve\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Pleasant Ridge Reserve<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"sqs-block-image-figure              intrinsic\"><\/p>\n<p>                <img data-stretch=\"false\" data-image=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/63d648e8-1d4f-4f63-85bd-bdc6bfcc62c4\/Alpine+cow+in+Switzerland+.jpg\" data-image-dimensions=\"2000x1333\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" alt=\"\" data-load=\"false\" elementtiming=\"system-image-block\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/63d648e8-1d4f-4f63-85bd-bdc6bfcc62c4\/Alpine cow in Switzerland .jpg?format=1000w\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 100vw\" onload='this.classList.add(\"loaded\")' srcset=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/63d648e8-1d4f-4f63-85bd-bdc6bfcc62c4\/Alpine+cow+in+Switzerland+.jpg?format=100w 100w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/63d648e8-1d4f-4f63-85bd-bdc6bfcc62c4\/Alpine+cow+in+Switzerland+.jpg?format=300w 300w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/63d648e8-1d4f-4f63-85bd-bdc6bfcc62c4\/Alpine+cow+in+Switzerland+.jpg?format=500w 500w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/63d648e8-1d4f-4f63-85bd-bdc6bfcc62c4\/Alpine+cow+in+Switzerland+.jpg?format=750w 750w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/63d648e8-1d4f-4f63-85bd-bdc6bfcc62c4\/Alpine cow in Switzerland .jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/63d648e8-1d4f-4f63-85bd-bdc6bfcc62c4\/Alpine+cow+in+Switzerland+.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/63d648e8-1d4f-4f63-85bd-bdc6bfcc62c4\/Alpine+cow+in+Switzerland+.jpg?format=2500w 2500w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-loader=\"sqs\"><figcaption class=\"image-caption-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"\">Alpine cow in Switzerland <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\">This family of cheeses originated in and around the Alpine Mountains in Switzerland, Italy and France.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">While it is fair to say that these cheeses have similar characteristics (they are melters, and most are lower in salt that other firm cheeses, for instance) there are also dramatic differences. Some of these cheeses are sold at varying ages, and younger wheels have a smooth and supple texture, while those aged longer will develop crystalline texture and lose some of their elasticity, becoming more crumbly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Most of the European cheeses listed here are traditional, name protected styles made by multiple artisans. Where &#8220;specialty&#8221; is indicated, these are unique cheeses developed by a single cheesemaker or a small traditional group. All of the U.S. cheeses are specialties, as the U.S. has no name protection system for cheeses.\u00a0And while the American made cheeses are of an outstanding quality, and similar enough to be included in this discussion, they are not the same, and should not be referred to by those protected names. Part of the reason those protections are given is that the place itself (the air, soil, water, microflora and plant species) are thought to contribute to the unique characteristics of the cheese. Last but not least, the American cheeses are quite obviously not from the Alps.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>What is Saison?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"sqs-block-image-figure              intrinsic\"><\/p>\n<p>                <img data-stretch=\"false\" data-image=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/b344ec65-0f37-4987-b778-b1c58b66a73c\/Saison+beer.jpg\" data-image-dimensions=\"2000x1333\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" alt=\"\" data-load=\"false\" elementtiming=\"system-image-block\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/b344ec65-0f37-4987-b778-b1c58b66a73c\/Saison beer.jpg?format=1000w\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 100vw\" onload='this.classList.add(\"loaded\")' srcset=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/b344ec65-0f37-4987-b778-b1c58b66a73c\/Saison+beer.jpg?format=100w 100w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/b344ec65-0f37-4987-b778-b1c58b66a73c\/Saison+beer.jpg?format=300w 300w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/b344ec65-0f37-4987-b778-b1c58b66a73c\/Saison+beer.jpg?format=500w 500w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/b344ec65-0f37-4987-b778-b1c58b66a73c\/Saison+beer.jpg?format=750w 750w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/b344ec65-0f37-4987-b778-b1c58b66a73c\/Saison beer.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/b344ec65-0f37-4987-b778-b1c58b66a73c\/Saison+beer.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/b344ec65-0f37-4987-b778-b1c58b66a73c\/Saison+beer.jpg?format=2500w 2500w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-loader=\"sqs\"><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"\">Saison is a traditional farmhouse ale that originated in the French-speaking region of Belgium.

This is still a favortite for me, and it is now also available in cans.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Langruti Le Gruy\u00e8re AOP Antique<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"sqs-block-image-figure              intrinsic\"><\/p>\n<p>                <img data-stretch=\"false\" data-image=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/cff544a7-8987-4c28-a44e-5fa07cb5e20b\/Langruti+Le+Gruye%CC%80re+Antique.jpg\" data-image-dimensions=\"2000x1333\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" alt=\"\" data-load=\"false\" elementtiming=\"system-image-block\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/cff544a7-8987-4c28-a44e-5fa07cb5e20b\/Langruti Le Gruye\u0300re Antique.jpg?format=1000w\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 100vw\" onload='this.classList.add(\"loaded\")' srcset=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/cff544a7-8987-4c28-a44e-5fa07cb5e20b\/Langruti+Le+Gruye%CC%80re+Antique.jpg?format=100w 100w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/cff544a7-8987-4c28-a44e-5fa07cb5e20b\/Langruti+Le+Gruye%CC%80re+Antique.jpg?format=300w 300w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/cff544a7-8987-4c28-a44e-5fa07cb5e20b\/Langruti+Le+Gruye%CC%80re+Antique.jpg?format=500w 500w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/cff544a7-8987-4c28-a44e-5fa07cb5e20b\/Langruti+Le+Gruye%CC%80re+Antique.jpg?format=750w 750w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/cff544a7-8987-4c28-a44e-5fa07cb5e20b\/Langruti Le Gruye\u0300re Antique.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/cff544a7-8987-4c28-a44e-5fa07cb5e20b\/Langruti+Le+Gruye%CC%80re+Antique.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5eb43938f468c330e7d8d665\/cff544a7-8987-4c28-a44e-5fa07cb5e20b\/Langruti+Le+Gruye%CC%80re+Antique.jpg?format=2500w 2500w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-loader=\"sqs\"><figcaption class=\"image-caption-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"\">Langruti Le Gruye\u0300re Antique<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\">The Langruti brings just what you want\u00a0in a Gruy\u00e8re\u2014a beautiful appearance, like a wedge of cut marble.

We tasted saut\u00e9ed onion, leeks, and almond notes, and there was a nice silky texture to the cheese.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The cheese flavors slightly overwhelmed those of the beer at first, but then they morphed into a tangy\/salty flavor more reminiscent of cheddar. That saltiness makes the beer all the more refreshing and you want to reach for another glass.
