During Buffalo Beer Week, the flying Bison Brewery Company will be hosting a special event centered around the pairing of cheeses with beer. Wine and cheese pairings have been going on for decades, but the complex flavors that can be achieved with various craft beer styles often make the perfect foil or complement to whatever cheeses you can find to pair with them. Michelle from Buffalo Cheese Traders, LLC & Amanda from Premier Gourmet’s Cheese Department pick out an assortment of fine cheeses, with a focus on imported old world cheese styles vs. their new world counterparts. 

Flying Bison will be presenting a few interesting brews to pair with the cheeses. Including  Funky Farmhand NYS Saison with Brettanomyces, Oak-Barrel Aged Herc Barleywine 2015, and ‘One Foot Bock’ Apple-Brandy Barrel-aged Maibock. Ethan, head of Premier’s Beer Department, will be selecting some traditional and interesting new guest beers to add to the deliciousness.

Some special side dishes will be created by Annie & company from SOLE of Buffalo, a non-profit organization promoting access to healthy, sustainable, local, and organic foods for all in the community.
