Cheese is one food that is usually associated with wines and champagne. Discover how good a nice brie tastes with a fine wheat beer. Apples like Gravensteins is another winning pairing with a Belgian ale. There are the ester, or fruity, characteristics that are frequently found in apple or pear-like fruit while the truffle honey harmonizes with the slight honey notes Belgian ales are famous for. Also, the flavors of gouda cheese compliment the Brett characters that are found in the beer. Some American wild ale loosely resembles top-fermenting beers that have been purposefully introduced to fermenting agents beyond the classic assortment of beer yeasts, sometimes replacing them completely. Strains of wild yeasts such as Brettanomyces, along with the lactic acid-producing bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Pediococcus, which are customarily considered contaminants in beer and wine making circles. They are used to deliver matchless sensory profiles by brewers who are willing to take risks as to both the irregularity of the results and the observation of the public.

Their gifts are designed in useful containers that are functional when the goodies are being consumed and after they are gone. ”Perfect for and occasion”, say VanWoerkom, owner of the company.
