Grey Lodge Launches Sunday Cheese and Beer Pairings

Mike “Scoats” Scotese received a copy of Di Bruno Bros. House of Cheese: A Guide to Wedges, Recipes and Pairings by Tenaya Darlington from his wife for Christmas.

The book lists 169 cheeses and Scoats has decided he wants to try them all. So on Sunday nights, he’s hosting a Sunday night beer and cheese pairing at his Grey Lodge. He’s planning to go through all 169 cheeses and will be will pair each cheese with a different beer.

So for the next 169 Sundays, the Northeast Philly beer bar will be offering a unique cheese and beer pairing. 169 different beers to go with all those cheeses. Scoats will get advice from Darlington and Di Bruno’s cheesemongers as well as his staff at the Grey Lodge for the pairings.

Think it’s crazy? Don’t forget Scoats is the man who created the phenomenon that is Friday the Firkinteenth, and had the guts to open a beer bar in Mayfair to begin with.

The cheese and beer pairings kick off tonight, Sunday, February 8th and will go every Sunday till they run out of cheese.
