Three for Three: The Joy of Cheese September Events
After a quiet late summer, The Joy of Cheese will launch headlong into the fall season with three events on consecutive nights.
September 20 at 7:30 at Culturefix, 9 Clinton St (near Houston): Cheese and Beer Rules!
Cheeses and beers pair exceptionally well together, but what are some rules of thumb for matching them? What cheese balances the hoppiness of an IPA ,or what beer goes best with a earthiness and pepper of a classic blue? Please join us September 20th at 7:30 at Culturefix, 9 Clinton St., as we celebrate the marriage of grains and curds with six wonderful cheeses accompanied by six New York state beers. This New York City Craft Beer Week event starts at 7:30. Tickets are $25; for tickets please visit http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/196694
September 21 at 7 at Premier Cru, 1163 Madison Avenue (86th St.): The New, New World Classics
The exceptional quality of American cheeses like Humboldt Fog, Rogue River Blue, and Pleasant Ridge Reserve are old news by now. What are the next great American made cheeses? Please join us at 7 at Premier Cru, the exceptional wine shop on the Upper East Side; In the first of a three part monthly series, I'll sample and discuss six cheeses from America and perhaps Canada and down under. Premier Cru owner Michael Eigen will pair these six cheeses with six wines from his shop's stellar inventory. Tickets are $45 and available via Premier Cru, 212-534-6709.
September 22 at 7 at The 92nd St. Y (92 & Lex): Better Than Wine, a Cheese and Beer Pairing.
Cheeses are often a good match for Belgian beers, and at this event Maggie Fuller of 12% Imports, a company that specializes in small producer Belgian and Scandinavian beer will pair eight of her favorite beers with eight of my favorite cheeses. We'll discuss the fromage and brews individually and why they work together. Tickets are $40 and available via the 92nd St. Y box office, http://www.92y.org/Uptown/Event/BetterThanWine-Beer-CheesePair-1.aspx
