Flossmoor Station Pullman Ale is made right here in Illinois in the town of Flossmoor. This beer is hoppy, and acidic with citrus notes throughout. This is one great beer, and a perfect for matching with cheese.
Speaking of cheese, if you haven't tried the Little Darling from Fayette Creamery you're missing out. This cheese, made by our friend Joe Burns is slightly sweet, buttery and nutty with a minimal amount of sharpness. This is truly a cheese for any palate.
Finally we top off the pairing with fruit butter from Seedling Farm in Michigan. Known amongst our employees as the makers of the "best cider in the world", the people at Seedling take care in all of their products. Only the best fruit, pick at it's ripest is used in their butters.
Put a little spread on some crackers, add some Little Darling and wash it all down with an ice cold Pullman Ale and you've got a great snack, lunch or picnic idea.
For those of you who may want to learn more about local beers, we have a class coming up.
