After a decent amount of research and consultations with experts like Chris Speir, wine manager at Binny’s in Willowbrook, the following list was formed. Besides pairing beers and cheeses that go together harmoniously, we tried to incorporate as many styles of beer and cheese as possible. If you have any suggestions on how to better our list, or have any other ideas of some quality beer and cheese pairings, please leave us a comment. We hope to see you May 28th!
