Beer vs. Wine “Cheese Wars”
35 people come to taste beer and wine paired with cheese. A beer and a wine sommelier face off, which goes better? “Cheese Wars” is a scene from The American Brew (DVD extras) featuring Garrett Oliver, author and brew master from Brooklyn Brewery and Geri Banks, wine consultant. They’re given 7 of the world’s most flavorful cheeses and must pair each with a delicious beer and wine. The audience smells, tastes, swirls, and votes. And the winner is…?
The American Brew: producer, director, cinematographer Roger Sherman, producer, writer Jesse Sweet, editor Merril Stern, narrator Tovah Feldshuh, music composer by Teese Gohl, associate producers Brainerd Taylor & Lila Thaw, graphic designer and animator Marcelo Cermak, produced by Florentine Films/Sherman Pictures LLC (www.florentinefilms.com/sherman), presented by Here’s To Beer (www.herestobeer.com).

As a a self proclaimed wine lover, I have started to experiment with beer and cheese pairings and am really enjoying it.
Recently we (Big Rock Brewery) did a pairing with our seasonal Winter Spice Ale and a 3 year old cheddar (Janice Beaton Cheese, 3-year, made in Ontario with raw cow’s milk).
As we do more seasonal brews we are looking to do more and more of these pairings to enhance the overall experience. Yum!
Thanks for the post. Please feel free to post or email us with your pairings as you discover them and we’ll add them to our Beer/Cheese/Food Chart!!
