Beer & Cheese Pairing at Midwest Supplies

By on June 15, 2011in beer events, beer stores

Beer and cheese are soul mates. Find out how to make the perfect matches at Midwest Homebrewing and Winemaking Supplies.

Join us at the store for a FREE Beer and Cheese pairing! Michael is one of our favorite speakers on all things related to beer. His beer making knowledge began right here at Midwest Supplies as a home brewer, and he has since expanded his skills as a Certified Cicerone (sommelier of the beer world). We’ll keep the store open a bit later so you’ll have time to shop when you’ve finished learning about pairing beer with cheese!
