This is far and away the best Irish Cheddar I've ever eaten. I used to be able to purchase it from the Kroger that is 10 minutes from my house. I can't find it around here anywhere, so I've had to resort to getting it online.Yeah, I like a good chees with a beer. One of my favorites is a good Irish white cheddar. I like this with hoppier beers and also maltier beers like reds or browns.I also like to plan a big multi-course meal and pair each course with a different homebrew. I'll often have a cheese course when I do this. I haven't done it in awhile, though, because lately, I only seem to have 2 or 3 different kinds of HB on hand.

Thanks! I am going to look for that the next time I'm at one of the stores with a good cheese selection.This is far and away the best Irish Cheddar I've ever eaten.

Give it a shot...you'll like it. The more aged the better. The guy down the street has some that is 12yrs+ It is to die for. It's also pretty pricey at about $13/#*drools*I've gotta try that IPA-cheddar combo. I'm a huge cheddar fan (Tillamook FTW!), and combining that with one of my IPAs would be heavenly.

Maytag Blue Cheese is can only be made by Maytag. It is a brand name, not really a style. I guess you could try to imitate it or something though. Interestingly it is the same Maytag as in Fritz Maytag and Maytag appliances. There's your beer and cheese! I really like the Chimay cheeses. The red one is my fave. The blue one is good too, but it has quite the stinkfoot thing going on. Drunken Goat is really good with my dry stout. I like washed rind cheeses with dubbels. Hennepin and other similar saisons go really well with brie, although I tend to stay away from the really funky bries. Hops and cheddar are so perfect together. I think that this segues into another realm here actually..... Beer and Pizza! I had a philosophy teacher in college that used beer and cheese for every hypothetical. I remember when someone asked him why, he told them that nothing else goes together so well, and no one could disprove it. I really like Point Reyes blue cheese with Belgian style white beers. Pepper jack and other pepper cheeses work well with amber ales of all cloths. I could go on and on.The other instance that really stands out in my mind was when I tried Blanche de Chambly with some maytag blue cheese made by a local farmer. That was almost ethereal.<insert BJ1833/morbier joke here>

That's really interesting. I honestly didn't know that. I'm guessing that the guy that made it had tried the genuine article and was striving to duplicate the taste or something. At any rate, that's what he called it, so I took it and ran with it. :covreyes:Thanks for the info.Maytag Blue Cheese is can only be made by Maytag. It is a brand name, not really a style.
