[...] might remember our experiments with beer and cheese pairing from a few weeks ago. Well, we’re by no means done [...]

Kieran — you’re the expert. We will hunt down some Harvey’s and give it a go.

On a somewhat related note, does anyone else find that eating olives with beer makes the beer taste like cheese…? Or is that just me…?

Another vote for mature cheddar here. Goes very well with hops I think.

Aged Gouda with Bock is always the most successful pairing at my tastings.

I think Sam Smiths Imperial is to small for Roquefort, go the Harveys !

Spicy goats cheese demands spicy wheat beer.

A while back I hosted a beer and cheese event for a large group of friends, and by far the biggest hit was an aged cheddar from Black Diamond. We thought the same thing essentially, "we'll throw the boring old cheddar in there as a control group." Turned out, it performed exceedingly well according to the crowd. A great combo was the Brooklyn Monster with Thomas Hoe Stilton, but I always enjoy an aged Gouda with an ESB.

I love all the mad suggestions for food pairings on the back of Sam Smith’s bottles – they must be tongue in cheek, particularly the suggestions for the Imperial Stout.

I tired cheddar with the Sam Smith’s and thought it a good combo. Isn’t it suggested on the bottle?

Maybe an aged cheddar could be compared with the more boring one?
