Beer and Cheese Pairings

Knee Deep Citra Pale Ale

Lincoln, CA
92 pts. — RateBeer.com

This local Pale Ale is brewed with the new hop hybrid, Citra. RateBeer describes it as a “citrus bomb with intense hop flavor
and aromas.”

Firestone Union Jack IPA

Paso Robles, CA
98 pts. — Draft Magazine

This IPA is incredibly balanced, offering a powerful blend of citrusy, floral, and bread malt scents and flavors. Even with its 7.5% ABV, it is finishing dry and clean. Draft Magazine gives this IPA 98 points, declaring it “one of the best American IPAs in
the world.”

Shaft’s Blue

Pair either of these great beers with this wonderfully creamy Blue, which is aged in the gold mines in Nevada County. The cool, damp environment gives the cheese a yellowish-green mold and a crisp, tangy finish. It crumbles easily and is a perfect companion
to steak.

Rubicon Irish Red

Sacramento, CA
90 pts. — RateBeer.com

We love this Sac-town Irish Red! Dark crystal malts and Irish Northdown and Centennial hops make this strong, hoppy ale one of our favorites. RateBeer gives this beer 90 points, and many compliment its complexity
and depth.

Vintage Dubliner

While it’s not actually a Cheddar, this Irish classic is loved just as much. Aged a minimum of 2 years, it has an intense bite with a sweet, nutty finish. We love this paired with the Rubicon Irish Red.

North Coast Old Rasputin

Fort Bragg, CA
95 pts. — BeerAdvocate.com

A great dessert beer. North Coast’s Imperial is thick and as black as Rasputin’s soul, yet smooth and slightly sweet with hints of chocolate and coffee. With a 9% ABV, it packs
a punch!

4½-Year Cheddar

Pair this super sharp Cheddar from Wisconsin with Old Rasputin. This Cheddar is aged a minimum of 4½ years, resulting in a full and creamy cheese with just the right amount of bite without bitterness.

Old Amsterdam

This classic aged Gouda has a wonderful melt-in-your-mouth taste. It’s buttery and sweet, finishing with hints of walnut and caramel. We paired this Old Amsterdam with Gold Digger, and our taste buds thanked us!

Nugget Markets Beer Bratwurst

Hand-crafted by our meat department associates, with NO nitrites/nitrates/MSG. Our Beer-N-Brats are made with pork shoulder roast, beer, sea salt, and spices like black and white pepper, ginger, cardamom, mace, nutmeg, basil and celery. In our stores near Davis, we make these brats with beer sourced locally from Sudwerk! Our other stores feature our Beer-N-Brats made with beer from
Sierra Nevada.
