Will's and Roger's excellent beer and cheese pairing adventure at Campbell's Gourmet Cottage, Monday, January 11.

On Monday, January 11, Campbell's Gourmet Cottage is pairing the Cheesemonger with the Publican for an educational evening of cheese, beer and banter.

Louisville-area cheese guru Will Eaves will join me at 6:30 p.m. for a nourishing and instructive journey through our respective genres. The cost is $45, and for more details and on-line registration, you can visit the Campbell's web site.

Following are the bare bones, as Will and I outlined last week after a fine evening session of research at the Public House. He's working on extended cheese descriptions, and I'm doing the same for the beers. With luck, I'll have the expanded version ready tomorrow.
