For those of you who thought school was always stressful and found every reason to skip class Tria Cafe has the perfect solution. Sunday School. No not the religious classes you went to as a kid but rather an excellent chance to taste some great beer, wine and cheese. On Sundays Tria selects a beer, wine and cheese and offers it at 1/2 off the regular price. This gives everyone a fantastic opportunity to try something they have never experienced without having to take a deep dive into the wallet. This week's beer selection was De Dolle
Oerbier from Diksmuide, Belgium. The commercial description says that it is," ...brewed from no less than 6 malts, uses Poperinge Golding hops and special yeast and is cellared at a constant temperature of 8 degrees Celsius...". All this creates a highly carbonated beer that pours deep red with a complex wine like sweet, tart fruitiness (apples and dark berries). The alcohol weighs in at 9%. I paired this with the cheese of the evening, the Sprout Creek Toussant from Poughkeepsie, NY which was served with crusty sliced bread and Amontillado apples. The De Dolle Oerbier was a perfect compliment to the robust, slightly peppery cheese. Not to forget our wine friends, Kelleigh had a glass of the Meritage Lyeth, 05 from Sonoma, CA. This was also from the Sunday School syllabus. To end the evening I had a beer I can never pass up when I find it on tap, Stone's Double Bastard. This beat out my second choice Victory's Old Horizontal. Wow, it's nice to have choices. Oh did I mention there was also Dogfish 90 minute. Well, whether you stop in on a weekday or take part in Sunday School, Tria Cafe is the perfect place to test your taste buds.
