Tim Laird, CEO, "Chief Entertaining Officer," Brown Foreman, Louisville, KY
"Kathy, What a treat. You definitely have an incredible brand. I loved the spicy/creamy taste that is full of flavor with a nice balance of richness. I’m going to share this with several of our internal folks along with my producer. I love using Howard’s Creek Authentic Beer Cheese in a variety of our recipes."

Cassie, Paula Deen Enterprizes
Hi Kathy! We did receive the beer cheese this morning, it looks delicious! I did put it straight in the refrigerator as noted. Paula gets in town this afternoon so I am going to make sure it goes over there tomorrow morning. I think we will keep one container here in the office so we can sample, just have to grab some crackers or chips! Thank you so much for sending it.
Suzanne Sadler, Lexington, KY February 2014
I work at Liquor Barn in Chevy Chase and I finally got around to trying this beer cheese! It was awesome even though I accidentally grabbed the spicy! I think I have a new addiction that is not going to be good for my diet but it's too good to stop!
Amy, Washington, DC
"YES - it is awesomely Gooooooooooooooooooood. If my birthday boys don't show up for theirs - I'm going to eat it too. Can't wait to buy my favorite crackers and have some more. You will be getting a multitude of orders from me from here on out. Let me know if you ever offer any discounts - like around Christmas time. That is what I am getting everyone for Christmas. Also, any way we could get a tub to Greece? My aunt lives there and her husband used to work for Borden as a chemist making, guesss what? Yep, cheese."
Alan Cole, FL
"Very Professional Product! Howard's Creek Beer Cheese has a distinctive flavor that let's you know the heritage is in the blend. "Kentucky Pride" is found inside. I put this on the table with my choice of chips and sliced vegetable to compliment a cool one for my friends. Try Howard's Creek, you deserve the experience!"
Mike - Happy New Year 2014
I found your beer cheese at a local liquor store. I really enjoyed the bite! I will buy more! Enjoy your New Year!

"I got your beer cheese, it's delightful, I love it, the only thing that I hate about it is that once you taste it you can't stop eating it, so that could be dangerous.... you produce the best."
