Cricket Creek Maggie's Round

With notes of lemon curd and pineapple upside-down cake, Maggie's Round is the cheese version of a sweet and tangy dessert. While it is inspired by the Italian toma that comes out of the Alps, this is an entirely different creation. The first impression is a striking rind - rustically textured and the color of dry hay. Cut into this wheel, and discover a buttery sweet paste within. After at least four months of aging, this raw, grass fed cow's milk allows a tropic, citrusy fruit aroma to waft through the air, begging for a sultry sweet white wine to be enjoyed alongside it, or a bright and vibrant American Saison.

Farmhouse Ales & Sours

From time to time, brewers allow wild yeasts to ferment the beer, resulting in a brew that falls somewhere in between pleasantly bright to bracingly sour.
