question: What is a good beer pairing for Sharp cheddar cheese and onion/ raisin chutney?
answer: A great choice for Sharp cheddar cheese and onion/ raisin chutney is Alpha Dog (Existential Red Ale.). Here's the recipe:
  This Existential Red Ale. features a complex malt bill including Maris Otter Extra Pale (2.5 kilograms), Caramalt (1.25 kilograms), and Munich (0.61 kilograms). The hopping schedule uses Nelson Sauvin (15grams @ start), and Amarillo (10grams @ end) for balanced bitterness and aroma. Crush the malt as close to brewing time as possible. The fresher the malt, the more intense caramel flavours will be released in the wort.
