Cheese Goes With: Beer

Cheese and beer have been coupled throughout history. For Mediaeval Monks of Belgium, cheese and beer were not only staples of their diet but they were also used as staples of currency. Even today in the bars in Belgium the gratis snack bowl on the bar is cubes of semi-soft cheese sprinkled with celery salt.
