Picked up some cheese and beer to hang in and watch a flick with the wife. Beer and cheese kicked ars, but the movie was pretty terrible...88 minutes. Pacino is a great actor, but the director and writer were terrible. Wish I could get those 88 minutes back. Any who...below are the beer and cheeses that I had.1) Taleggio (house cured) **
Comments: Soft very pungent cheese that has a buttery taste. Texture of a brie, but has tons more stank. Very tasty stuff. Cured at the Hoboken Cheese Store...
2) Appenzeller *
Comments: A nutty hard cow's milk cheese that has similar characteristics to a gruyere, but a more pungent flavor.
3) Raisin D'Etre **
Comments: Nice beer that paired perfectly with the cheeses. The slightly sweet finish really brought out the sweetness and nuttiness of the cheeses. I used the beer to help cook my ratatouille and ground lamb stew and it imparted the sweetness and hopiness into the stew.

"has tons more stank. Very tasty stuff."
Love it!
And yeah, what he said on 88 Minutes. One to see, though, is Zack & Miri Make a Porno. but with Dudes. Hil-friggin-arious
