Rogue Knows Cheese: Better With Beer

For Immediate Release:

Portland, OR, July 6, 2010 — Fred Eckhardt, author of “The Essentials of Beer Style,” says that the combination of wine and cheese leads to a “train wreck in the mouth.”  On July 20, Eckhardt will make the case that beer is the superior pairing with cheese at the 19th Annual Beer & Cheese tasting event at the Rogue Public House and Distillery in Portland’s Pearl District.  

During the event, Eckhardt will lead participants through a decadent multi-course tasting featuring predominantly Oregon hand-crafted beers and cheeses. Eckhardt’s Beer & Cheese tasting is part of Oregon Craft Beer Month and the perfect prelude to the Oregon Brewers Festival, which begins on July 22.

The event begins at 5:00 p.m. at the Rogue Ales Distillery & Public House, located at 1339 N.W. Flanders, Portland.  The cost is $25 for Rogue Nation Members, $30 for advance ticket orders, or $35 at the door. Call 503.222.5910 for reservations. For more information visit www.rogue.com.
