A dessert worthy of the word indulgence, cheesecake has an earned reputation of being hard to make but worth the effort. Creamy and dense, sweet and tangy, with a ring of graham cracker crust, and a thick sweet ooze of cherry compote topping. The only thing better is pairing it with a beer or four.
Hover over the targets to see recommended beer pairings for cheesecake.

A decent coffee stout, New belgium’s salted carmel brownie ale or other brown ales. I personally favor a Cherry chocolate quadrupel with cherry topped cheesecake. Even a good vienna lager or cream ale could also work.
