I figured beer cheese was basically my beloved pimento cheese but with beer. If anything, I thought it would just have a whippier consistency. Unfortunately, Floyd Beer Cheese was a bit too crumbly for my taste. The flavor was spot on. A little hoppy from the beer, smoky from the bacon, and just a bit spicy. I thought it would soften up when it got to room temp but it just wasn't the case. The people who buy and sell it at Smorgasburg would tell you it's the texture I was looking for. Maybe I got a bad batch? If it was just a bit more spreadable, I would be eating it daily.
Though the cheese didn't quite reach my high hopes, I was a big fan of Floyd, the bar. It's divey with an indoor bocce court and baroque couches for reading. It was a perfect second stop on our Saturday bar crawl around Brooklyn Heights.
