It is church auction time. Many of the members of my church put together dinner parties or other similar events, and offer a number of seats to the event at the silent auction. This year, I want to guide a beer and cheese pairing.
I am thinking that we want four beers, and four cheeses. For simplicity sake, I want to do all one region. Given the diversity of Belgian beers and the link between the Church and beer in Belgium, I thought that it would be cool to do four Belgian beers.
My initial thought is to do a Wit, a Saison, an Abby style ale, and a sour ale.
I am giving myself a few months to do some research. I will probably host the actual event in February.
I am coming here for some input and ideas.
1. Does this sound like a good selection of beer styles?
2. Any particular beers that I should look for at a reasonably well stocked bottle store?
3. Most important, do you have any specific ideas for cheese pairings?
I will be sure to check in with any fantastic pairings I stumble upon until then. Please share any opinions you have about this event.
