Cheese + Beer: Better Together

Sonoma and Marin Counties are making some of the tastiest beer and cheese on the planet. Join Janet Fletcher, author of Cheese & Beer, as she leads this locavore tasting, featuring slam-dunk matches from our Northern California backyard. Learn which cheeses bring out the best in hoppy IPAs, zippy wheat beers, creamy stouts, spicy Belgian ales and malty bocks and brown ales.

Janet Fletcher is a teacher, author, journalist, and publisher of Planet Cheese. Janet has written for the Oakland Tribune and San Francisco Chronicle and has authored six books. She is a three-time James Beard Award winner, and was the scriptwriter on two Beard Award-winning DVDs produced by the Culinary Institute of America. Through her writing, teaching, and cheese appreciation classes, she continues to spotlight the trends and people who make Northern California such an exhilarating place to cook, eat and work. In her spare moments between deadlines, she tends to her home garden in the Napa Valley.

We are thrilled to have Janet teach a series of seasonal cheese workshops at SHED. Plan to join us for her other visits as she discusses, cheese and local cider in the fall and cheese and sparkling wine this winter.
