In our Cheese 101 course, Andrew teaches the history, origin and the basics about cheese. We also have many of the most famous cheeses available to sample! The cost for the class is $30.00 (plus tax). The class is about 1 & ½ hrs. long, and Andrew will have you laughing the whole way through! Super date idea, for you or your friends!
SEE YOU THERE!

The Food & Wine section of the latest issue of Find Bliss Magazine features Master Chef Joachim Splichal and sommalier Silvestre Fernandes from Patina sharing their favorite cheese, chocolate and wine pairings, and wouldn’t you know it — they’re recommending a cheese that I carry in the shop!
Click on the image above to see the whole spread, or just come into the shop to get some of this amazing cheese! Chef Splichal says of the cheese, “It’s a washed rind cheese that is aged for about six weeks, with an extremely soft texture that gives it a rich mouth-feel and an aroma that hints of spice.”

Grilled Cheese & Beer Night | August 22nd, 2014 | Andrew’s Cheese Shop
This family-style event has been our most popular. Join us now and see what the excitement has been all about! The cost is $47.50 (plus tax) per person. We have now slightly upgraded the event to have a salad, four courses of our famous grilled cheeses (paired with four specialty beers), and an awesome, new dessert course of an Imperial Stout Float with French Vanilla Ice cream! The event sells out quickly, so check our calendar for upcoming dates, or email us to get on the list for the next event.
If you are interested in booking this event privately, please let us know and we’ll be happy to find a date and go over the details with you. The per person cost is the same and there is a $600.00 minimum for a private event. We are also now offering a premium event for $67.50 per person which switches out one of the beers for sparkling wine and we use super-premium beers for the others.
*NOTE: Please let us know if anybody in your party has any dietary restrictions.

Summertime is a great time for some amazing cheeses!

Maybe on your front or back porch; maybe in the backyard; maybe on the balcony.
Whichever way you choose, our Cheese of the Month Club will supply you with ample cheese to dance on your palate and sophisticate your cheese acumen!

Video Transcript:
Hi, I’m Andrew; this is my shop. We’re at 728 Montana right on the corner of Lincoln. If you’re looking for a great date night idea, or even if you’re looking to meet somebody, or if you want to socialize with some other people that live locally, we do this event called Grilled Cheese & Beer. It’s a blast. We do four different open-faced grilled cheese sandwiches — all different recipes, some of them have several cheeses; some of them have one. A lot of them have other ingredients that are really fun besides that. And we pair each cheese with a different one of these specialty beers that we carry in the shop. We try to pair the flavors really well and we do this really fun beer and ice cream float afterwards. It’s a blast; you should come.
To find out in advance about when the Grilled Cheese & Beer comes on sale, the best way to do it is to get onto our website, sign up for our e-mail list. We blast out the dates whenever they are released. It’s a very, very popular event so if you get on the e-mail list, there’s no favoritism — if you get the e-mail, sign up as soon as you can because they sell out in a matter of hours.
The website is www.AndrewsCheese.com with no punctuation. Our phone number is (310)393-3308. Our hours are M-F 11a-7p; Sat. 10a-7p and Sunday 11a-6p. We’re only closed on Christmas and New Years.
Mother’s Day treats! Handmade dark chocolate truffles and flowers from next door at The Language of Flowers. www.santamonicaflowers.com
If you want to see a really fun show I did about cheese and beverage pairings, check this out!
Unless Andrew gets distracted again. The odds are probably about 50/50.
