We're gearing up for the most anticipated confection launch of our year: cheese month. You heard that right. We're pairing cheese and chocolate together. It's wild, crazy, and delicious. Since 2014, we've devoted an entire month to cheese-infused sweets, focusing on Midwestern cheeses and exciting pairings that work well together and create new experiences. For the first time ever, we're creating an event devoted just to showcasing those sweets. You can try all of our favorites in one fell swoop.
CHEESE: Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread, and Wine is our go-to for any cheese related experience. In addition to carrying some of the finest truffles in the city (ahem), they have become Chicago's foremost experts on cheese since opening their first location in 2004. In addition to offering 100s of types of cheese, they bring never-before-tasted cheese (and now 4 locations) to our fair city. They are pairing 4 savory bites and a grand cheese tray with our event.
BEER: We recently had the pleasure to design truffles to pair with 3 Sheeps Brewing collaboration beer (available at Sleeping Village), and we are excited to work with them again as they pair beer with truffles and cheese. Based in Sheboygan WI, 3 Sheeps focuses on "Heart and Science", bringing unusual and delicious beers to market. They'll be offering 4 beer pairings at our event.
DETAILS: We'll be throwing this shindig open-house style, from 6-9PM. We'll have 4 stations, each with appropriate pairings. In addition, Pastoral has proposed an epic cheese tray, the likes of which we've never seen. Not enough, you say? How about live jazz? We like that idea, too. Come to 2745 W. Armitage ready to eat, drink, and be merry.
