![Forget wine: Pair cheese with beer. In preparation for the Vermont Cheesemakers Festival (taking place August 23 in Shelburne, VT), organizers have put together a list of cheeses and beers that complement each other
Cheese: Chèvre with herbs or pepper
A soft goat’s milk chevre is ideal for serving as an appetizer (with crackers) or sprinkled on top of a salad.
Beer recommendations: Pilsner-style beer, Wheat beer, Pale ale
Cheese: Two-year cheddar
An aged semi-firm cheddar goes well with holiday foods or by itself.
Beer recommendations: India Pale Ale, Steam beer, Christmas Ale
Cheese: Traditional cheddar wheel
A traditional country-store cheddar, made from pasteurized cow’s milk, is rich and full-flavored.
Beer recommendations: Porter, Double ale, Fruit beer
Cheese: Blue cheese
This rich and tangy cheese is an acquired taste, but if you like it, it’s great crumbled on a salad and served in small doses.
Beer recommendations: Triple ale, Imperial stout, Barley wine[amny]](http://27.media.tumblr.com/xBPM27W2Jr1z9g5vpjGS19xQo1_400.jpg)
