Beer and Cheese: What a Pair!

Sure, you love beer – and cheese, too. But did you know that pairing their flavors carefully can bring out the best in both? Discover the delightful options at “The Art of Pairing” event sponsored by the Newark Arts Alliance on Friday, March 23, from 6-9 p.m.

Trust your palate to certified Cicerone (beer sommelier) Burke Morrison from Standard Distributing Company of New Castle, DE, and Lisa Ferraro-Klinge from Taste Artisanal Market in Newark, DE.

Ferraro-Klinge will offer samples of five different locally sourced, hand-made artisan cheeses, which can be mixed and matched with Morrison’s five local and area brews—from Twin Lakes Brewing Company (Greenville, DE), Erie Brewing Company (Erie, PA), Heavy Seas Beer (Baltimore, MD), 16 Mile Brewery (Georgetown, DE), and Matt Brewing Company (Utica, NY). All samples are included with the $15 admission at the door.

During a special presentation at 7:15 p.m., the duo will explain the basics of creating delicious beer-and-cheese combinations and offer suggested pairings for parties and events. A raffle will also be held, with prizes including two tickets for a Twin Lakes Brewery tour.
