Oh, yeah - I LOVE that cheese! It's gorgeous stuff.
Interesting story, too - it actually starts as a cheese called Blue Benedictine made by monks in Quebec, and then Provincial Fine Foods smokes and ages it here in Ontario to turn it into Blue Haze.
That's really cool. I had no idea. Ridiculously good cheese.
I had a big wedge left over, so I had more tonight and paired it with Brewdog's Paradox Smokhead Impy Stout (thanks Janet!) bottled on 08/08/08. Wow. Smokey heaven.

Wouldn't happen to have any more of those bottles would you? Anything bottled on my champagne birthday has to be worth drinking

Yup, that cheese rules. Not cheap, but the good stuff never is.

Sorry Pete, that was my one and only bottle. The Islay character was stong from the barrel aging, but the rest of the beers character had started to fade just a wee bit. Still worked really well with the cheese, though.

Chimay has recently selected a new distributor for their cheeses in Ontario and these gusy seem quie serious. Previously they used Quebec importers who really didn't care about Ontario. We're alrady working on plans to pair Chimay cheese and beer in various establishments in Ontario and we'll also be able tp provide a list of retailers who will carry Chimay cheese.
