Clover Creek Cheese Grateful Chedd

A few years ago, the team encountered a batch of cheddar that did not meet their expectations. During a delivery to Pittsburgh, they connected with someone from East End Brewing, who shared that their barleywine beer had turned flat. This conversation sparked an idea: why not transform two mishaps into something extraordinary? They decided to soak their cheddar in the flat beer, and to their delight, the flavors complemented each other beautifully. East End Brewing named their beer Gratitude, and in the spirit of wordplay, they dubbed their cheese Grateful Ched. Having sold out of that initial batch, they continued to soak their aged cheddar in the beer. This sweetly sour beverage adds just the right amount of moisture to the dry and crunchy aged cheese, creating a perfect pairing. They encourage everyone to give it a try and share their thoughts.
