Snapshot: The Isthmus Beer & Cheese Fest

Posted in Tour, tagged , , , , , on January 31, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Becca and I had a great time at the Isthmus Beer & Cheese Fest in Madison this past Saturday. We got to see a bunch of friends (Bruce Workman of Edelweiss and Bob Wills from Cedar Grove, the Furthermore Beer guys, Matt and Clare from Quince and Apple, and others) and meet some new ones, including Linda Falkenstein of the Isthmus, the talented folks at Bolzano Artisan Meats, the delightful power couple behind New Glarus beer, and the folks at Roelli Cheese Haus. We also tried a few some lots of beer and cheese samples.

In the Isthmus Again

We certainly can’t fault our hometown alt weekly for a lack of support — the Isthmus, once again, has given us some wonderful ink. We made the paper’s list of Best Wisconsin Foodie Books for 2009. Terese Allen writes, in part:

A Great First Review

Posted in Media Mention, tagged , , on November 4, 2009| 1 Comment »

isthmusreviewTenaya Darlington, of the blog Madame Fromage, offers some very kind words for Master Cheesemakers of Wisconsin in Madison’s weekly Isthmus. My favorite excerpt sums up Becca’s work on the book quite nicely:

The pictures are exquisite, capturing the essence of small towns in rural Wisconsin and the dairy hives within them. What Robert Frank did in the 1950s, capturing stark images of postwar America, photographer Becca Dilley does for the cheese state, peeling back the shrink-wrap to give us glimpses of Amish milking barns and portraits of hair-netted men with muscled fingers stirring curds. She captures the zeitgeist of artisanal cheesemaking.

You can read the whole review over at the Isthmus.
