Beer….cheese...two great tastes that go together. Peanut butter and chocolate are fine, but with top Chicago suds? Maybe yes if you have consumed a few edibles, but we’re going classic with this tasting. Join both Maplewood Brewing’s Jeff Doerr and the The Wine and Cheese Place’s own Whiskey Dave for a tasty tour of some serious beer and cheese action.

Surly Brewing Coffee Bender...$8.99 / 4pk 16oz cans
BREWED FOR: PAIRING THE TWO BEST THINGS.
REFRESHES LIKE AN ICED-COFFEE, IS AROMATIC AS A BAG OF WHILE BEANS AND SATISFIES LIKE YOUR FAVORITE BEER.
Guatemalan coffee, roasted locally, added to Bender, our oatmeal brown ale. Coldpress coffee aromas, intense coffee flavors balanced by the oats in the malt bill, resulting in a cappuccino-like creaminess.

Surly Abrasive Double IPA...$13.99 / 4pk cans
BREWED FOR: MORE HOPS. MORE, MORE, MORE.
A MASSIVE DOSE OF CITRA HOPS LAUNCHES OUR LEGENDARY DOUBLE IPA (MINNESOTA’S FIRST, AND A NOD TO OUR ABRASIVES FACTORY ORIGIN) INTO THE HOPHEAD STRATOSPHERE.
We originally brewed this beer at the end of 2008 to bid farewell to growler sales, only to underestimate the demand for the first double IPA in Minnesota. We brewed the beer again in spring 2009 and the rest is IPA history. Also history: 16 Grit, the beer’s first handle and a size of abrasive grit used at the old abrasives factory that houses the original Surly mothership in Brooklyn Center.

A portion of the proceeds of every bottle of the Arborist goes to the 1 Tree Planted Foundation, to date Vina Robles has planted over 5300 trees with the proceeds of this brilliant wine.

2018 Vina Robles The Arborist $14.99
This is a screamingly good deal, offering both hedonistic pleasure and complexity through a blend of 41% Syrah, 35% Petite Sirah, 12% Grenache and 12% Tannat. Aromas of roasted cherry, smoked meat and cola spice lead into a hearty palate of black currant, roasted game and licorice. It's balanced by bright acidity, making for a sip that will satisfy many
