Blues & Brews with Shea Cheese

November 16, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Get ready for a night of sipping on brews and indulging in cheeses (*not all blue cheese, we just thought it was the title was cute!).

Enjoy communal style sitting in the Greenwood Brewing Beer Garden while tasting and talking about Shea Cheese’s modern cheeses paired with Greenwood Brewing’s craft brews (4oz taster sizes), expertly paired by Greenwood Brewing’s Head Brewer Kristin L. and Associate Brewer Anthony M.

Shea Cheese will talk about the cheeses first in front of you, followed by Megan Greenwood, Owner and Founder of Greenwood Brewing, to talk about the paired beer. You will then analyze the look, taste, feel, smell of each cheese and beer on the menu. We will provide charts to help and paper for you to note what you are experiencing!

Each person will have their individual boards. Bigger share boards of achouchetmont/palette cleansers (ex. green olives, raspberries, pretzels, crackers, etc.).
