St Andre is a soft ripened cheese that's very rich and has a full, buttery taste. Red Hook IPA is a true English-style bitter. The distinctive style was developed by British brewers in the 1700s. They created the sturdy beer to survive long sea journeys to distant colonies. The hoppy favor lends a great deal to the buttery taste of the St Andre cheese, giving them both a subtle, nutty flavor. To keep this combination simple, serve the St Andre sliced with some crusty French bread, and offer frosted mugs of the Red Hook.
