Blue cheese beer? (aussie.zone)

I saw an article about a blue cheese beer by some US brewer. Got me thinking, I wonder that this would go? Anyone have an idea how to achieve this? I can only presume throwing some blended cheese into the fermenter would just cause a yeast infection.

There's a bit of info in this article about how Crux went about it: https://brewpublic.com/beer-releases/rogue-creamery-and-crux-fermentation-release-limited-edition-ale-brewed-with-blue-cheese/

Seems like they went for a lambic style and barrel aged it quite a lot. Wonder what that tastes like. Overripe blue cheese tends to be a bit harsh on the ammonia.

I might be biased, but I would have gone for a chocolate stout. Blue cheese and chocolate go together.

Seems like one of those things you'd serve in a 200 ml portion size. Nevertheless, I'd try it for the sheer novelty. It can't be any worse than those lambics they sell with added artificial (non-fermentable, that is) sweeteners.
