The Perfect Pairing Pale Ale

Pale Ale - New England / Hazy

We worked with our pals at Cabot Creamery to design a beer to pair perfectly with sharp cheddar cheese. The malt bill incorporates spicy wheat malt and the dry hop leans into tropical varieties that also throw some citrus. To add a little body and sweetness we added some of Cabot’s whey permeate (raw lactose). The fruitiness of the hops complement the saltiness of the a cheddar and the bitterness cuts the fat, making it the idea companion for many dishes.

Wow. Beer itself is fine (light tropical notes with a bit of citrus. HOWEVER, with the cheese pairing…wow does this cut right through the sharp white cheddar and finish super smooth. Awesome execution.

A decent pale by itself. Does pair ok with cheddar. Tones down the sharpness of the cheddar but not sure it necessarily adds anything to it.

When I you are in DE...even if it's a pit stop on the way to Ramstein, you have to stop and pay tribute.

My favorite of the dogfish series thus far. Unfortunately just found out Aunt Delaney is a utilitarian so I’m gonna have to violently black out at a chill hangout

With some Cabot sharp cheddar this was great, could see this as a really good game day beer with a cheese plate.
