Located in: Cheese, USA

Made in Monroe, Wisconsin, Beer Kaese is a robust, American classic with a German/Swiss pedigree. Containing no beer, this cheese was registered in 1933 as a celebratory salute to the repeal of Prohibition, hence the name “Beer” Kaese. The unique flavor of Beer Kaese comes from aging. It is shelf-cured, resulting in a golden yellow rind. Beer Kaese has an earthy, slightly tangy, full-bodied flavor which makes it an excellent pairing with rye or pumpernickel bread and a slice of onion with a glass of red wine or, preferably, beer. Alternatively, try this cheese served for dessert with a glass of port.

Suitable for vegetarians.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Comments about Beer Kaese:

I don't mind a stinky cheese, but something is very wrong with this recipe. Overpowering urine smell, could not taste otherwise smooth cheese because smell too powerful. Impossible to eat.

Comments about Beer Kaese:

A fine tasting cheese if you like the "limberger" type smell it gives off. Half of the family loved it, the other half could not get over the smell.

Comments about Beer Kaese:

I have been eating this cheese for 35 years. My grandmother used to stock it in her home whenever we kids came to visit. A good hearty pumpernickel, a thin slice of vidalia onion and some salt makes a delicious sandwich. My sister and I crave this cheese, our husbands hate us for it. Wear gloves while cutting it and forget about going out in public for a day or two, the smell will follow you. I would only recommend this to a very brave friend.

I will continue to buy this product.

Comments about Beer Kaese:

I was excited to see a cheese to go with beer. I opened the package on 'ladies night' at my house and immediatley everyone gagged. We couldn't even taste it. Luckily my boyfriends mother loves cheese that smells repulsive. So I gave it to her and she has requested more.
