Happy Christmas from The Ormskirk Baron

Back in July I visited Brentwood Brewery and acquired a couple of bottles of their lovely Chockwork Orange [baron rating 5/5] with the plan to see if the statement on the back of the bottle about them working with cheese held any water.

Well months and months later Chris & I finally got around to testing it out as we finished our Christmas Baron Rating evening with a couple of bottles of the ale and some fine English cheeses (Five Counties and some Lancashire Creamy and Tasty).

Listen to what Chris and the Baron have to say about it.

The beer really worked nicely with the cheese, the sweet aspect challenging nicely the slightly tart bitter edge of the cheeses in a similar way to a fruity chutney would.



It was a fitting end to an amazing year of Baron Ratings and I would like to say thank you so much to all the breweries who have helped the Baron out over 2011, my website would be nothing without the support that you have given!

Thank You from @Christopher_R & @baron_orm
