Voodoo Ranger Alehouse Cheddar, a smooth beer-infused cheese made in Vermont. The beer is worked into the milled curds before pressing and maturation, giving the cheddar savoury depth and a distinctive alehouse character. Equally appealing on a cheeseboard or melted over a burger, it brings the beer-and-cheese pairing into every bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheese Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beer-infused cheddar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMilk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pasteurised whole cow’s milk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pasteurised whole milk, New Belgium Brewing Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA, salt, enzymes and select cultures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beer is added after the whey is drained and the curds are milled, before pressing into moulds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aged for at least six months, according to the producer’s Alehouse Cheddar specifications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRennet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Microbial.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergen:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contains milk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDietary Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made with beer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Cheesemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rick Woods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRounded cheddar richness meets a malty beer accent, creating a savoury flavour with the depth associated with aged cheddar.

Head Cheesemaker Rick Woods has been involved since the beginning, while president and fifth-generation dairyman Kent Underwood contributes extensive dairy-industry experience. Their Alehouse series combines traditional cheddar making with the flavours of distinctive craft beers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe partnership with New Belgium Brewing Company was announced in 2020, introducing Voodoo Ranger and Fat Tire editions to the Alehouse range. Incorporating beer into the curds makes the collaboration part of the cheese itself, creating a natural connection between the cheeseboard and the beer glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the cheese to lose its refrigerator chill before serving with pretzels, wholegrain mustard and onion jam. Pair with Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA to echo the beer used in production, or choose an American pale ale for a lighter accompaniment.
