At Fairfield Cheese Co. we are always asked, “what pairs well with this?” It’s time we share the secret that beer is much easier to pair with cheese than some wines.  From just over the  Brooklyn Bridge all the way to the far reaches of California and beyond, there is an explosion of breweries and creameries that are making beautiful music, each in their own right. With the help of the beer experts at Harry’s Wine & Liquor, this class will show you how to put them together in perfect harmony.  $45.00
