The Joy of Cheese and Gastronomie 491 Present the 12 Percent Solution

During the last few years, Brooklyn-based 12 Percent Imports, essentially a two person company, has established itself as one of the leading portfolios in the beer world. They began with small Belgian breweries and expanded their book to include extraordinary beers from Scandinavia, Canada, and now many parts of the United States as well. Only a few of their beers are actually 12% in Alcohol per Beer Volume, but all of their beers are delicious.
Please join us Tuesday October 29 at 7 pm at Gastronomie 491, 491 Columbus Avenue (between 83rd and 84th) for a pairing of six beers and six cheeses. Maggie Fuller of 12 Percent will introduce and discuss the beers. Martin Johnson, the lead cheesemonger at Gastronomie 491, and according to the NY Times, one of the leading cheese wits in the city, http://bit.ly/VSYuhe, will present and discuss the cheese. Good times will ensue.
