Pabst Blue Ribbon & Yancey’s Fancy Create the Ultimate Beer-Infused Cheese
When it comes to beer and food pairings, beer and cheese always percolates to the top! Now one of America’s most recognizable beers, Pabst Blue Ribbon, has partnered with cheese purveyor, Yancey’s Fancy on Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer Flavored Cheese!
The two companies have a long history in fermentation. Yancey’s Fancy traces its American cheese-making roots to 1926, while Pabst has been brewing beer in the US since 1844. Inspired by PBR’s unexpected foray into cheese-making during Prohibition, and Yancey’s notoriety as a House of Flavor, this new partnership blends two of America’s great traditions: beer and cheese. The result is said to be a bold, flavorful cheddar that brings a unique spin to everything, from charcuterie platters to epic grilled cheeses, heartwarming mac and cheese, or just a midnight snack straight from the fridge.
“Yancey’s history with cheese-making crossed with the legacy of Pabst Blue Ribbon creates a nostalgic tip of the hat to the long history of cheese and beer as counterparts,” said Hunter Cox, Brand Manager of Pabst Blue RIbbon, in a statement. “They did a killer job with the flavor profile, honing the notes of PBR to sit well with the tang of the cheddar. The combo of beer and cheese is unmatched, making this collaboration something that people need to try.”
“The Yancey’s brand is known for robust flavored cheese, so when the Pabst team approached us, we were thrilled to create a truly unique cheese,” said Yancey’s CEO, Eric Cosnoski. “We spent 6 months meticulously refining the taste and mimicking the nuanced botanicals to capture the complex taste experience of drinking a PBR. If you are a PBR fanatic, this will be your new favorite cheese.”
Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer Flavored Cheese is now rolling out in supermarkets nationwide. After an initial launch with a local grocery chain in New York State, the cheese is steadily expanding into stores across the country. With national distribution ramping up, be sure to check your local grocery’s cheese section. For those who prefer to shop online, an e-commerce option is launching soon!
