It’s beer and cheese week! Beer industry veteran, professional cheesemonger, and German language educator, Ericka Baird, joined us this week to talk about everything beer and cheese.
We picked up a variety of cheeses, from real Wisconsin curds to the world-famous Rogue River Bleu, and tried them alongside a few beers chosen by Matt. Ericka and Matt walk us through the pairings, and we see what works and what doesn’t. And of course, Ericka drops an insane amount of history with every new creamery we explored.
Open a fresh Kraft Single and tune in to learn why this was Ron and Doug’s favorite week ever, which cheese style smells like an actual foot, and why drinking directly from a fondue fountain is completely justified.
