Greetings
Simple Is Best
Whether or not the clouds stay away, we're officially in summer. This is a great month: outdoor gatherings still feel like a treat, chilled drinks are especially thirst-quenching, and the fireworks of the Fourth encourage so much festive fare. Speaking of, please note that we will be closed the 4th of July. Happy Independence Day!
Below we offer simple ways of creating memorable meals, whether it's a picture-perfect pairing; a snazzy sauce; or bright, creative pickles, a little something special can bring together a new, wonderful whole. Thank you to those who were able to make it to our open house in June. It was a big success and a joy to see your faces.
Cheers,
Le Fromage Crew

The hint of fruit in the plum brandy-dipped cheese offsets the dryness of the beer, while its fresh lightness allows the beer's delicate scents to shine...and this is a beer you want to shine! It was awarded the Gold Medal for best German-Style Pilsner at the 2008 European Beer Star Awards and two consecutive Gold Medals at the 2007/2008 World Beer Cup. Thank goodness this proud tradition has been brought to American shores...it comes to you from a sister brewery in Berkeley, CA!
