From the iconic barn in Blyth, Ontario, Cowbell Brewing Co. has made a name for itself with bold beers, a commitment to sustainability, and a whole lot of flavour. Whether you're sipping a hazy IPA or enjoying their refreshing Kölsch-style ale, there's a cheese pairing ready to elevate your experience.
We had a little fun with this one—some classic combos, some unexpected surprises, and a whole lot of deliciousness. Here’s what we’re pairing:
🌴 Hazy Juicy IPA
Beer Profile: Bursting with tropical fruit—mango, pineapple, and papaya in every sip.
Cheese Pairings:
White Fox Aged White Leicester – Rich, nutty, and slightly crumbly, this cheese brings a savory edge that balances all that juicy fruit character.
Sticky Toffee Cheese – Yes, you read that right. This sweet and creamy cheese plays up the tropical notes in the beer, almost like dessert in a glass (and on a plate).
🍺 Absent Landlord Kölsch
Beer Profile: A crisp, clean Kölsch-style ale with subtle hops and soft malt.
Cheese Pairings:
Gruyère – With a smooth texture and nutty sweetness, Gruyère complements the beer’s delicate malt backbone.
Red Pepper Brick Cheese – A fun twist! This spicy, flavourful cheese adds a zesty kick that contrasts beautifully with the beer’s refreshing character.
Saint Agur Blue Cheese – A bold move for a lighter beer, but trust us—it works. The creamy intensity of this blue cheese finds harmony with the Kölsch’s understated notes.
