Midsummer Nights' Cheese tonight at Kennett

POSTED: Thursday, August 9, 2012, 11:59 AM

Beer, cheese and cocktails collide tonight at Kennett (848 South 2nd St.) for Midsummer Nights' Cheese. It's a three way collaboration featuring cheeses from the fromagers at Di Bruno Brothers, beers from Suzie Woods of Allagash and a selection of Shakespeare-inspirated beer cocktails from bartenders aboout town Phoebe Esmon and Christian Gaal.

If last week's celebration of Rickys was any indication, Midsummer Nights' Cheese is going to be a good one. 

 

“Yet marked I where the bolt of Cupid fell: It fell upon a little western flower, Before, milk white, now purple with Love’s wound, And maidens call it Love-in-Idleness.”

-Oberon, II.i.

Love’s Wound

Allagash White, bourbon, blueberry syrup, spiced peach bitters.

 

“Let me play the lion too:  I will roar, that I will do any man’s heart good to hear me; I will roar, that I will make the duke say ‘Let him roar again, let him roar again.”

-Bottom, I.ii.

Let Him Roar Again

Allagash Dubbel, London Dry Gin, peach shrub, grated nutmeg.

 

“Thanks, courteous wall:  Jove shield thee well for this! But what see I?  No Thisbe do I see. O wicked wall, through whom I see no bliss! Cursed by thy stones for thus deceiving me!”

-Bottom as Pyramus, V.i.

Cursed be Thy Stones

Allagash Yakuza (dry-Hopped tripel), blended Scotch, muddled sugar and Rainier cherries.

 

“Bottom: But, I pray you, let none of your people stir me.  I have an exposition of sleep come upon me.

Titania: Sleep thou, and I will wind thee in my arms…”

-IV.i.

An Exposition of Sleep

Allagash Black (Belgian-style stout), Carménère, bing cherry shrub, xocolatl molé bitters.
