5/14/2019 -- Cheese & Beer at Stoup Brewing with Gilbert's Cheese Experience

Celebrate Seattle Beer Week with a fun, interactive cheese-and-beer pairing event!

A unique experience in cheese pairing, tasting and education is making its debut in Seattle’s vibrant culinary scene: Gilbert’s Cheese Experience (www.gilbertscheeseexperience.com) will hold its first event on May 14 at Stoup Brewing in Ballard.

Gilbert’s Cheese Experience is a touring food-education and tasting program, combining curated cheese selections with another local food or beverage item. Cheese is brought directly to the source of the producers in each pairing for an interactive, full-sensory tasting experience. At each event, attendees will hear from the producers themselves about their craft, see the facilities and learn how their food and drinks are made.

The premiere event of Gilbert’s Cheese Experience will honor the Seattle beer community by taking place during Seattle Beer Week. Four cheeses will be paired with four Stoup beers, allowing attendees to mix and match and explore the combinations they like best. Snacks are provided throughout.

“As local makers of independent craft beer, Brian and Holly's desire to connect food lovers with the origins of what they eat and drink — and to do it in a fun and meaningful way — really resonates with us,” says Stoup Co-Owner and Marketing and Communications manager Lara Zahaba. "Not to mention, we have a profound fondness for cheese and education!"

Ticket prices include the four pairings; a gift bag with a piece of cheese; and a raffle entry to win an eight-pound block of signature Flagship cheddar from Beecher’s Handmade Cheese.
