Pastoral is having a blast with the myriad of events around the city for Chicago Craft Beer Week. We even revamped our beer selection for the occasion! We have brought in several new beers with the intention of further showcasing the broad spectrum of beer styles as they relate to pairing with our broad spectrum of cheese, chocolate, and charcuterie offerings.

Pairing #4

Tripel Karmeliet and Bleu d'Auvergne

Brewery: Brouwerij Bosteels
Style: Belgian Tripel
Region: Buggenhout, Belgium
ABV: 8.4%

Iconic and complex, this golden Tripel is fruity, malty and refreshing. Its medium-full body and sweet note tame the salinity of big blues while accentuating the nutty and earthy tones hiding in the background.
