Sharp Cheddar and Double IPA <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As the weather cools, many drinkers will reach for full-flavored and higher ABV beers, in place of the more refreshing and effervescent beers that they were sipping during the summer. But when it comes to pairing cheeses with stronger beers, which factors should you consider?<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my favorite principles of cheese pairing is matching intensities,\u201d says Isabelle Brosen, Assistant Manager of Events & Education at Murray\u2019s Cheese. The cheese and beer should elevate one another, Brosen adds, and one should not dominate the other. Read about<\/em> Murray\u2019s<\/em><\/a>.<\/em> But pairing bold flavors successfully isn\u2019t always easy. \u201cThe challenge is to select couplings that are bold and audacious, not aggressive\u00a0and unpleasant,\u201d says Jill Tardiff, Cheesemonger, Manager and Buyer at Saxelby Cheesemongers, based in New York.

With the right pairing, cheese and beer lovers can find beautiful balance, even as they reach for some of the most full-flavored and boozy beers. Here are some cheese pairing ideas for stronger beer styles that you can try.<\/p>\n

Double IPAs are rich and resinous beers. They might have citrusy and woodsy notes from the hop bouquet used in the brewing process, with a sturdy malt profile as a backbone, for a full mouthfeel. These beers typically clock in at 7% ABV or above. Brosen recommends a punchier Cheddar, such as Murray\u2019s Cave Aged Stockinghall Cheddar<\/a>, with a heavily hopped beer such as this. \u201cThese cheeses are chock full of flavor, acidity, and spice which can balance super well with bitterness and intensity of a DIPA,\u201d she says. Try it with Lake Front Double IPA<\/a>. Read more <\/em>about Double and Triple IPAs<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Harpoon Hoppy Adventure and Firefly Farms Fresh Goat Cheese<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New England double IPAs are often brewed with flaked oats or wheat, to give them their trademark haze. These beers call for a cheese pairing that can complement the smooth mouthfeel and the tropical and stone fruit notes from the hops. The Saxelby team recommends fresh goat cheeses that are processed within 24 hours, such as fresh goat cheese<\/a> from FireFly Farms<\/a>, for a bright yet smooth cheese with a hint of citrus. Try it with Harpoon Hoppy A<\/a>d<\/a>venture<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Double the Reason DDH IPA and Greensward\u00a0spruce-wrapped cheese<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A double dry hopped IPA will typically feature twice the dry-hop addition by weight of a comparable IPA. Since \u2018dry-hopping\u2019 means adding hops during or after fermentation\u2014as opposed to in the kettle\u2014a DDH IPA will be bursting with even more of the piney and fruity notes as one might expect in a typical IPA. And though ABVs vary, many DDH IPAs will fall in a similar range to double IPAs. For a unique pairing, Brosen suggests a spruce-wrapped cheese such as Greensward<\/a>. \u201cThe woodsy flavor imparted in the cheese by the spruce bark wrapping can marry well with the organic flavors provided by the hops,\u201d she says. Try it with Double the Reason<\/a> from Druther\u2019s Brewing Company.<\/p>\n

Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout and Nancy’s Hudson Valley Camembert <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For a big beer like imperial stout, which has notes of coffee and cocoa thanks to the specialty malts such as chocolate malt and roasted barley, selecting a decadent cheese to complement it is the way to go. The Saxelby team suggests a\u00a0triple-cr\u00e8me bloomy rind, like Nancy’s Hudson Valley Camembert<\/a>. \u201cButtery and mushroomy and silky,\u201d is how Tardiff describes it, proving an ideal pairing for this ultra-rich beer style. Try it with Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout<\/a> from North Coast Brewing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Belgian Tripel <\/strong>with Double Cream Brie<\/h2>\n

Grand Cru Belgian Style Tripel aged in Bourbon Barrels and Brillat Savarin<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Often coming in at around 8% ABV, Belgian style tripels are often complex and satisfying beers, with spicy and fruity aromas and flavors from the high levels of phenols and esters that are produced by Belgian yeast. Here, Brosen suggests considering pairing the type of cheese that might be enjoyed alongside jams and candied nuts, such as a bloomy rind cheese. \u201cBelgian tripels could actually pair quite nicely with a buttery double cream bloomy rind [such as] think Brillat Savarin, or Cremeux de Bourgogne,\u201d she says. \u201cThe creamy mildness of cheeses like this can be the perfect sounding board for bringing out some of the more nuanced flavors in a strong Belgian ale.\u201d Try it with Grand Cru Belgian Style Tripel aged in Bourbon Barrels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Barleywine is a strong ale that packs a punch. With high ABVs in the 8% to 12% range, these beers showcase intense and complex malt profiles, with a full mouthfeel. This beer style originates in England, and American takes will typically have a greater emphasis on hop bitterness. For this, the Saxelby team recommends an aged gouda, such as Marieke Gouda Plain Overjarige<\/a>, which has sweet, grassy, crunchy characteristics. Try it with Sierra Nevada Big Foot<\/a>.
