June 13, 2012 The Terror of Terroir - SAVOR 2012 Private Tasting Salon
Winemakers often speak of their products expression of terroir, claiming
near-exclusivity in wine's ability to reflect the grape's distinct growing
environment. But can terroir exist in other products like beer and cheese? Both are
agricultural products like wine, and both are made from grasses and seeds that then
metamorphose via fermentation to create a singular experience for the consumer.
Join Will Meyers, Brewmaster at Cambridge Brewing Company (CBC) in Massachusetts, for
the opportunity to discuss the potential for terroir in craft beer and cheese created
from locally-grown ingredients. To further the exploration, three very special
beers unavailable outside of Massachusetts will be paired with handmade cheeses
from The Cellars at Jasper Hill, a family-run artisanal farm in Greensboro, Vermont.
The Beers:
Sgt. Pepper is a saison or farmhouse-style rustic ale with local malts and flavored with
four different peppercorns for a balanced but spicy experience.
Weekapaug Gruit is an unhopped beer made with local malts and ancient, traditional
brewing herbs like sweet gale, yarrow and Labrador tea, all either grown by the brewery
or foraged and hand-harvested locally.
Special Salon-only beer: Share in an extra special TBD beer drawn from the infamous
Barrel Cellar at CBC, made from local malts and homegrown hops, and spontaneously
fermented for a true expression of local flora.
The Cheeses:
Winnimere is produced only from the winter milk of the Ayrshire heifers at Jasper Hill
Farm. Wrapped in cambium cut from the spruce trees on the farm and washed in beer from
neighboring Hill Farmstead Brewery, Winnimere shows remarkable variation from batch to
batch sometimes smoky, sometimes fruity, sometimes mustardy, sometimes meaty.
Landaff is created with milk from a closed herd of Holsteins by Doug and Deb Erg of
Landaff Creamery. The cheese is aged to maturity at The Cellars at Jasper Hill until its
release. Landaff has a rustic natural rind and a semi-firm paste showing subtle aromas
of cave and grass. Its balanced complexity harmonizes a bright buttermilk tang and
savory brown butter notes.
TBD: A third cheese will be chosen to taste with CBC's cellar selected beer for a
stupendous pairing experience.

June 13, 2012 A Taste of Oregon - SAVOR 2012 Private Tasting Salon
Oregon’s agricultural community produces 225-plus different products, something that
Oregon brewers certainly find advantageous when sourcing ingredients. Oakshire Brewing
from Eugene and Standing Stone Brewing from Ashland will present beers that they have
made from local ingredients and pair these beers with locally produced cheese from Rogue
Creamery in Central Point.
Leading the Oakshire tasting is Matt Van Wyk, brewmaster for the microbrewery. Matt will
showcase a sour framboise made with Oregon raspberries and aged in pinot noir barrels
from an Oregon winery. He will also debut a beer produced with 100% Oregon-grown barley
and hops.
Mingling with Matt will be Larry Chase, brewmaster for Standing Stone Brewing Co. Larry
will feature I ♥ Oregon Ale, a beer brewed with 100% Oregon-grown barley and hops
from both the Willamette and Rogue Valleys. The Rogue Valley hops are grown organically
just two miles from the brewery. Larry is also looking forward to the debut of a mystery
beer that he will share with you. To go along with the beers, look for cheeses produced
by the well known Rogue Creamery, located a short 20 miles from Standing Stone Brewing.
Larry Chase is a 15-year brewing veteran, having created beers for most of that time in
the Midwest. Since his move to Oregon two years ago, he brought medals and a cash award
for lab equipment to Standing Stone in the Brain of Brewers contest.
Matt is a beer industry veteran with 12 years of experience and numerous national
accolades, including 2006 Great American Beer Festival Small Brewpub Brewmaster of the
Year. Upon joining Oakshire he won a GABF Silver Medal for the brewery’s Overcast
Espresso Stout.
