Is Cheese the New Microbrew?

Jena Van Wagner talked with Sue for Is Cheese the New Microbrew? in the January The Traverse City Business News:

Sue Kurta, head cheese at Boss Mouse Cheese, claims that cheese is beer’s cool cousin.

“Actually beer and cheese making are a lot alike,” says Kurta. “There is a lot of chemistry and love involved in both.” Boss Mouse works with local purveyors such as Right Brain Brewery and Left Foot Charley to craft specialty cheeses using their libations.

“Artisan (small batch) cheese making is complex, but everyone can enjoy it,” advises Kurta. “Cheese is a positive experience. Cheese is real food; not too many years ago everyone made it. We need to go back to simpler pleasures – that’s the only way to go forward.”
