Episode 2: Tulip Tree Creamery  Hops + Goat Rodeo Bamboozle 

In this second episode, join Brittany as chats about her recent experience at the 2023 Cheesemonger Invitational and her favorite cheeses she was able to try. Lots of surprised there! After that, back to business with 2 new cheeses this week: the Hops cheese from Tulip Tree Creamery near Indianapolis and the half-stinky Bamboozle from Goat Rodeo near Pittsburgh, PA. Brittany walks us through the sights, smells,  tastes, and pairing options of each cheese as well as a brief history of the creameries. These 2 cheeses have different characteristics, but they would be great with a sweeter bloomy rind cheese on a board together.
