Idle Hands Beer & Cheese Pairing Class
December 14, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$50
Take a tour of New England and the Northeast through your tastebuds with this cheese and beer pairing class. During the class, you will learn about how different styles of cheese are made while sampling six hand-selected local cheeses and accompaniments. You’ll get a taste of everything from fresh to bloomy to funky to sharp to blue and learn about what makes great pairings and which beers bring out the subtle notes of a cheese. All the cheeses and pairings come from small Northeastern Artisans. Bring your appetite because while it’s *just cheese*, you’ll walk away with a full belly and a head full of cheesy knowledge.
About your cheese instructor: Kimi, the founder of Life. Love. Cheese., spent over a decade in tech as an engineer and manager before saying “Goodbye” to the cubicle and going to culinary school. She has a MLA in Gastronomy and an Artisan Cheese Certificate from BU. She’s also trained in cheesemaking at Sterling College alongside Jasper Hill and now she is an artisan cheese instructor at BU. Her company, Life. Love. Cheese. focuses on highlighting American cheese makers and artisans with a special emphasis on the Northeast.
Pre-order a take-home cheese kit to savor the evening’s tasting experience from the comfort of your own home for $60. Take home cheese kits include 3 New England cheeses (4-6ounces each) plus three accompaniments selected to mix and match with each cheese.

The cheeses are selected by Kimi from the evening’s tasting menu and include a soft cheese, a cheddar cheese and a hard cheese. Accompaniments may include crackers, salami and a jam or spread.
