Freestar x Simply Roasted - The Dry Jan Edition
Welcome to The Dry Jan Edition!
Say hello to our first-ever AF beer & cheese pairing.
And what better way to start than with fellow Londoners, Freestar.
2 lager’s will pair perfectly with the waterloo cheese. 2 IPA’s for your highmoor. A keens cheddar, what we like to refer to as a cheese board staple, pulls this all together pairing with both beers.
DON’T FORGET…
Topped off with our brand new Deli Society Organic Salame Ventricina, SImply Roasted’s triple-cooked crisps, perfectly seasoned to let the potatoes do the talking, thyme-infused honey and of course, crackers.
Who said Dry Jan was boring. Stick on the playlist below and enjoy.
We think you’re going to love this one.

Cheese 1
Highmoor
Rose’s grandfather started our dairy in 1950 and it converted to being organic in 2001. They felt it a crying shame that this beautiful organic milk was being hauled away and mixed with the milk of many other farms before it was dispersed into the market. They thought that the animals, and their milk, deserved greater appreciation and so they set about creating Nettlebed Creamery.
Rose founded the business in 2015 and it has since won many awards, including Super Gold at the World Cheese Awards, and Best Organic Cheese and Best Soft White at the British Cheese Awards.

Waterloo Cheese
Waterloo is a mild, semi-soft Guernsey milk cheese with a buttery flavour , made using a wash curd method which dilutes the acidity to achieve a soft, gentle flavour. Its distinctive yellow colour is due to the natural carotene in the unpasteurised Guernsey milk which comes from a single herd of pedigree Guernsey cows near Henley on Thames.
