The Harmony of Beer and Cheese

If you need a civilized respite from the crowded bars during Beer Week, why not join me at a cheese class at Murray's Cheese?

When:  Wednesday, 21 September, 6:30 - 8 pm
Where:  Murray's Cheese, 254 Bleecker Street
What:  $65, purchase tickets at the Murray's website

I'll by joined by Adeline Druart of Vermont Butter and Cheese Creamery; they specialize in artisanal dairy products made from milk from local farmers. We'll be pairing 6 of their French-inspired cheeses with 6 of our French beers and the classroom setting of Murray's provides an excellent venue to learn about cheesemaking and the variety of French beers. And of course there will be photos of cute goats.

After the Murray's class, I'll be heading across the street to the Blind Tiger Ale House at 281 Bleecker Street to help author Christian DeBenedetti celebrate the release of his book The Great American Ale Trail. That event begins at 6pm.
