I just stumbled upon a great cheese pairing with the most unusual beverage… I was eating some gouda that Caroline cut, and cracked open a bottle of Virgil’s Root Beer. Man that tasted so good and really complemented each other. Even stranger since no alcohol was there to react with the cheese. The gouda tasted smooth and buttery, and the root beer tasted smooth, and semisweet. The end taste is very clean and leaves a smooth marshmallow-like taste. Try this. Let me know your thoughts. It’s probably the most unusual, but very satisfying and smooth cheese pairing!
