Craft Cheese Meets Craft Beer: Vermont Farmstead’s Alehouse Standouts

Craft Cheese Meets Craft Beer: Vermont Farmstead’s Alehouse Standouts

Vermont Farmstead Cheese Company proves that great cheese stories often start with community. Back in 2009, residents in South Woodstock, Vermont came together to save an 18-acre dairy farm, eventually creating the state’s first community-owned artisan cheese and dairy facility.

After producing its first cheese in 2011, the creamery quickly became known for fresh artisan cheeses crafted with a strong focus on land stewardship and animal care—something that continues to resonate with today’s food-conscious shoppers.

Among the standouts are the company’s collaborations with New Belgium Brewing: Fat Tire Alehouse Cheddar and Voodoo Ranger Alehouse Cheddar.

Fat Tire Alehouse Cheddar

Smooth, creamy, and balanced with subtle malty notes, this cheddar was practically made for pairing with a cold beer and a snack board spread.

Voodoo Ranger Alehouse Cheddar

This bolder option brings sweet, hoppy flavor with an almost aged-cheddar character. It’s especially good melted onto burgers or packed into a seriously flavorful grilled cheese.

As beer-infused cheeses continue gaining attention, Vermont Farmstead’s Alehouse line shows how craft beer and artisan dairy remain one of the tastiest crossover pairings around.
