Cheese Wars II

Cheese Wars II

Due to the success of Sixteen Tons’ Cheese Wars that took place during the inaugural Eugene Beer Week, the event has returned and promises to be even better.

On Tuesday July 19th The Supreme Bean at 29th & Willamette will host 16 Tons and Oakshire Brewing for CHEESE WARS II. July is Oregon Craft Beer Month with July 18-24 being focused on Eugene. Cheese Wars is a food-pairing showdown between two ancient beverages. We will feature five courses of cheese carefully selected by Oakshire’s cheese enthusiast extraordinaire Eriel Hoffmeier. Each cheese course will be paired with a beer and a wine. Brewmaster Matt Van Wyk will choose and present the beers, Isaac Silva of Estelle and OBM will choose and present the wines.

Which pairings work best only you can decide. Cheese Wars is a fantastic opportunity to learn about the processes of making beer, wine, and cheese. This is a fun and lively sit down affair! Tickets are limited. $20 includes all tasting and food (cheese and bread). Purchase tickets at 16 Tons or online at BrownPaperTickets.com https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/184875. There is a 5:30 session and an 8pm session, each lasting approximately 2 hours.
