Some thoughts on beer/cheese pairing:

Beer and cheese pairings are becoming very popular. Culture, the cheese magazine for cheese retails, etc. does many articles on cheese/beer.
My cheese shop has many beer pairing events with local pubs and in house as well.
Recently did a 5 beer Appalachian Brewing event with 10 cheeses.

I absolutely love beer and cheese pairings. I am a big fan of wine but I honestly believe that craft beer is a far better pairing fr cheese.

Some of my favorite pairings are a hoppy IPA and a nutty gruyere or a roasty malty stout with nice sharp Cheddar.

Agree about beer and cheese pairings being good particularly the darker Belgian beers.
I particularly like Orval with a blue cheese like Stichelton.

If I'm drinking a rather unremarkable beer then I don't mind pairing it with cheese. However if it's an excellent beer that I really want to fully taste and enjoy I won't let cheese get anywhere near my mouth.
