Ale & Cheese Pairings

Ale partners beautifully with the artisanal cheeses in our Deli. Here are some suggestions from our Deli manager, Matt:

GREEND'ALE

Pale Ale | 500ml | 4%

Pale Ale has a lighter profile, therefore works well with bold flavours such as sharp Glastonbury Twanger Cheddar or hearty Dorset Blue Vinny.

HANLONS SIMCOE IPA

New England IPA | 500ml | 4.3%

The fruity, pacific-based hops in the beer compliment the nuttier taste in Manchego Cheese or Cornish Kern.

EXETER BREWERY DARKNESS

Stout | 500ml | 5.1%

Smoothness in Stout, or porter pairs wonderfully with the buttery richness of blues like Colston Basset Stilton.

CROSSED ANCHORS CAB LAGER

Lager | 750ml | 4%

The crispness of a matured, local Lager matches incredibly well with the subtle, sweeter flavours of the well-known Cornish Yarg.

POWDERKEG GREEN LIGHT

1/4 IPA | 330ml | 1.2%

Pair with Somerset Camembert or Westcountry Brie like Cricket St Thomas or Sharpham Brie. Lighter and more citrusy than continental brie, the lighter beer helps boost that flavour, giving the cheese an enhanced taste without ruining it.
