Your hosts are Rachel Shuh & David Humphries. The date and time for the party are Saturday, October 15, 2011 from 5 to 7:30 pm.

This party is a carefully designed tasting of beer and cheese pairings.  A selection of local and iconic cheeses matched with a range of craft brews.  Last year we sampled 10 beers that ranged from Belgian Saisons and Chimay to favorite West Coast styles.  Our 7 cheeses, which were chosen for their local character and widely different flavor profiles, ranged from a creamy Mendocino goat cheese, to a triple-cream Cowgirl Creamery number, and finished up with a serious washed-rind specimen and some Neil's Yard Stilton.  This year, we will feature our most outstanding pairings and explore a few new offerings from Marin county farmstead cheese makers.  Accompanying nibbles provided.
