I totally get a cheese and beer pairing but a cheesed up beer? Well Oregon’s Rogue Creamery has collaborated with Crux Fermentation Project in Bend on limited-edition, lambic-style ale brewed at Rogue Creamery’s cheesemaking facility. And it didn’t utilize the ingredients of any cheese. It was the cheesemaker’s famous blue cheese, Rogue River Blue.
Crux filled up their Coolship portable vat with uninoculated wort, drove that Coolship to the Creamery. Rogue River Blue cheese was pitched into the beer wort and overnight inside Rogue’s facility the yeast and the went to work.
Two years later that beer is now ready. I will be following reviews on Untappd to see what the tasting experience is like.
