Good Thunder Washed Rind Cheese
Good Thunder—named for a town near Mankato, MN where Alemar was founded, is Alemar's washed-rind cheese. Loosely based on Reblochon, the 7.5 ounce square of cheese is washed in a mixture of beer (for that midwestern flair!) and salt several times during ageing. We use Nacht Rider, a schwartzbier from Arbeiter Brewing in south Minneapolis, which adds a toasty, sweet flavor with a hint of lager funk to the cheese. Under its bright orange rind, expect a velvety, creamy texture with balanced sweet, buttery, barnyardy, and umami flavors. Don't let the funky aroma of this cheese fool you—Good Thunder is for more than just the hardened cheeseheads among us! Alemar Cheese Company was started by Keith Adams in 2008 in Mankato, Minnesota and moved up to its new location in Food Building in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2019. Alemar specializes in soft-ripened, French-inspired cheeses. All Alemar cheeses are made by hand from local grass-fed cow's milk and use vegetarian rennet.
