I would like to hear about more cheese purchases. I enjoy sharp, hard cheeses. I would appreciate suggestions. This is not irony.

Especially something as unlikeable as cheese, I mean the only people who like that kind of stuff are people with mouths.

Mostly it's the ones that can't stop talking about how they don't understand why people drink <popular macrobrew> when they can drink Megahops Fucker IPA, it's soooooo much better

That's dumb. In Portland we're so inundated with HopsFucker beers that the most indy/alternative thing you can possibly do is order a Coors Light.

The grossest beer is the truest beer. But only if it's gross in a difficult way. The faux naive movement of beer.

As a beer enthusiast I'm so happy that the whole IPA fad is over. It got so out of control. I can enjoy a beer with a strong hop taste but a ton of the IPAs are just "hey look how much bitterness I was able to cram in this piss soup" PS there's a poo poo ton of beer/other food product enthusiast that are not assholes and can enjoy cheap/industrial versions of these product and not be insufferable assholes.

Thankfully I like pretty much any style so I'll just roll with changes. Barrel aged and sours are definitely the new fad now, which I'm cool with.

My recollection is that IPA's are still the biggest category of sales for craft beer and every year more IPA and IPA style beer seems to be coming out.

I think you said you like hard cheese, try out Asiago or Parmesans, i the cheese section grab a long thin wedge, and nice hard one, those are usually in the same family.

VendaGoat posted:You know, I really was interested in cheese. Semihard Cheeses A broad category ranging from cheddar to Gouda, semihard cheeses can be aged anywhere from a few months to a few years, and sometimes longer. American Flagship Reserve: Beecher’s Handmade Cheese, Seattle, WA A cheddarlike cow’s-milk cheese, Beecher’s Flagship Reserve develops its nutty, sharp flavors while it ages in cloth wrapping for at least a year (beechershandmadecheese.com). Classico: Tumalo Farms, Bend, OR This goat’s-milk cheese is sweet, like many Dutch Goudas, and nutty, like an aged Italian cheese (tumalofarms.com). Pleasant Ridge Reserve: Uplands Cheese Company, Dodgeville, WI An Alpine-style, golden, grassy cheese made from the milk of mixed-breed cows (uplandscheese.com). European England: Lincolnshire Poacher Though often compared with cheddar, this English cow’s-milk cheese developed by dairy farmer Simon Jones has a creamier texture and tastes more mellow and sweet. It’s delicious with walnuts or apples (lincolnshirepoachercheese.com). Spain: Garrotxa A firm Catalonian cheese with the signature tang of goat’s milk, Garrotxa has an earthy aroma and is a terrific choice for cooking. It adds flair to pasta and pairs well with serrano ham for a Spanish-inspired grilled cheese sandwich. Recipe: Leeks Romesco with Crumbled Garrotxa Cheese Hard Cheeses Hard cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano are defined by their firm, granular texture and salty-sharp taste. American Sarvecchio Parmesan: Sartori Foods, Plymouth, WI SarVecchio is the closest thing to an American Parmigiano; moister and less assertive than its Italian cousin, it has a great balance of nutty, salty and caramelly flavors (sartorifoods.com). Queso de Mano: Haystack Mountain Goat Dairy, Niwot, CO Loosely translated as "handmade cheese," sweet-tart Queso de Mano was this goat dairy’s first raw-milk cheese (haystackgoatcheese.com). Super Aged Gouda: Winchester Cheese Company, Winchester, CA This Gouda is made in the Dutch "Boere Kaas" (farm-made) fashion with unpasteurized cow’s milk (winchestercheese.com). European Holland: Saenkanter This caramelly, long-aged Dutch Gouda is crunchy with crystals (tiny protein clusters). Italy: Piave Vecchio Nutty and sweet, this aged cow’s-milk cheese is more mellow than classic hard cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano, but it’s just as lovely grated on pasta or served in chunks as part of a cheese plate. One of my favorites not on the list is a Dubliner, its really loving good.

Session IPAs seem to be big now, which is great as they are usually much less hoppy and more well rounded.

As so many people in this thread love craft beer with loads of hops here is my recommendation I have most weekends. It's an IPA made with blood oranges. My beard is also coming along.

Rubiks Pubes posted:I didn't realize cheese enthusiasts existed until today. Are you cheese people as insufferable as craft beer people? I think that cheese enthusiasts are way less insufferable than uber beer and wine snobs. Pretty much all cheese talk is "This was awesome. This other one was amazing. This one was pretty good." There's pretty much zero of the "That one that YOU like is loving garbage. The one that I like is the only good one on the planet." Also waaaayyyyy less bullshitty "This has notes of stone fruit, raw almond skin, green post oak, wet hay and Elmer's red glitter glue." The only real cheese snobbery that you'll hear is people making fun of cheap American cheese products. Even that is a mixed bag, since many of us will willingly admit that some Velveeta queso dip is still delicious, and Kraft singles are still the one true cheese for neighborhood cookout burgers. Eat more cheese.

Almost any cheese tastes amazing when grilled. Even the crappy American cheese food product can be edible in a grilled cheese.

Cool well good thing most of it is only available locally and no one is forcing you to drink any then! I just found a bunch of Jack Spade Oxford shirts marked down to $30 each which is the price point at which I can finally do what I've wanted to do for a while and exchange much of my collared shirt wardrobe for Jack Spade. They make a really well cut shirt.
