What happens when you pair Seattle’s favorite craft brewery with the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic cheesemaker? A flavor collaboration made in Ballard heaven.
Reuben’s Brews and Beecher’s Handmade Cheese are joining forces to celebrate two PNW staples: world-class hops and handcrafted artisan cheese. Whether you’re stopping by our taprooms for a casual flight or looking to win an exclusive behind-the-scenes event, you won’t want to miss this delicious combination.
Crikey! You’ve Got To Try This: A Match Made In Seattle
Throughout the months of September and October, both our Ballard and Downtown Seattle taprooms will be serving an exclusive 3-part Beer & Cheese Pairing Tray.
We’ve carefully selected three distinct hop profiles to elevate Beecher’s signature handcrafted cheeses:
- Crikey IPA × Beecher’s Flagship Cheddar: The ultimate local pairing. Crikey’s bold pine and citrus bitterness cuts straight through the robust, nutty sharpness of Beecher’s famous Flagship.
-
Hazealicious Hazy IPA × Beecher’s Marco Polo: Juicy, soft tropical fruit flavors in Hazealicious tame the zesty bite of cracked green and black peppercorns.
- Brighten Up IPA × Beecher’s Garlic Noir: Bright, citrusy hop notes slice through the rich, buttery cheese while accentuating the sweet, roasted depth of black garlic.
Stop by either taproom to try the self-guided flight alongside special cheesy food items featuring Beecher’s products on the menu.
