🧀 Beer & Cheese Pairing Guide
Perfect Matches Using QWERTY Beers
Beer and cheese are a match made in heaven. While people are often associating wine as a cheese pairing, the variety of styles and flavours within our beers actually make it just as suitable. Whether you’re planning a cosy night in or hosting friends, these pairings will turn a simple snack into a tasting experience.
🍊 St Ives Drift Pale Ale + Mature Cheddar
This Cornish pale ale bursts with citrus and gentle malt flavour. A rich mature cheddar balances the crisp bitterness and brings out the beer’s refreshing finish. Drift is a mighty force in our Real Ale Hampers.
🍑 Full Circle Repeater IPA + Vintage Cheddar
Bold hops and soft stone-fruit aromas meet the deep savoury taste of vintage cheddar. The IPA’s bright bitterness complements the cheese’s caramel and umami notes. One of our fan favourites which can be found in our Pale Ale & IPA Hampers and our Craft Beer Advent Calendar.
🌴 Attic Brew Intuition Pale Ale + Smoked Cheddar
Tropical fruit flavours cut through the light smokiness of this cheese. The result is a balanced mix of sweet, salty and fruity. Can be found in our Premium Pale Ale & IPA Gift Hamper.
🍂 Windsor & Eton Guardsman Bitter + Goats Cheese
Smooth caramel and toffee tones pair beautifully with the creamy tang of goats cheese. Each sip refreshes the palate for the next bite. A proud member of our Real Ale Advent Calendar and our Traditional Real Ale Hamper!
