The Pacific Northwest Cheese Project blog has a mouth-watering post on several regional beer cheeses: Rogue Creamery Soba Cheddar (made with Rogue Ales‘ Morimoto Soba Ale) and Windsong Farm’s Hefeweizen Cheddar and Double Trouble IPA Cheddar (made with beer from The Great Bear Brewing Company).

I’m going to have to keep my eye out for beer cheeses now, these definitely sound good to me. Barring that, I’ll have to think about doing some cheese tastings paired with beer… I’m thinking a good strong, dark, perhaps even smoked selection of ales would be good accompaniments…
