Join us as we host our annual benefit for Be Fido's Friend and honor the memory of Ben, a beloved BFF rescue who loved his sniffs at the door and daily walks by our cheese shop.

Our class will be a casual, fun, and informative guided tasting of five different farmstead cheeses. We'll be tasting and learning about some of the great farmstead cheeses that Beautiful Rind carries. Our award-winning cheesemongers will tell you about the farms, farmers, animals, cheesemakers, and all the hard work that goes into responsibly producing world-class cheese from the grass to your plate. You'll also have a chance to ask all of your cheesy questions in a Q&A.

If you are looking to support Be Fido's Friend without the formality of a cheese class, we are also donating a portion of our dine-in and dog friendly* patio sales on 5/19 to Be Fido's Friend. We will also be hosting longtime shop regular and BFF supporter/foster mom, Hanny, to talk about all the great ways to support this amazing cause.

We welcome friendly dogs on our patio only. Limited patio reservations and walk ups may be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to city regulations and food safety, no animals except service animals as defined by Americans with Disabilities Act are allowed inside.

$20 from the sale of each class will be donated to Fido's Friend in memory of Ben. To learn more about this great organization visit https://www.befidosfriend.org/

For your comfort, this class is being offered in-person and virtually. You may select your preference after booking your tickets. Each ticket will receive a tasting kit of five different cheeses and a variety of accompaniments. Wine and charcuterie pairings are available for purchase at check out.

To ensure a safe and comfortable setup, all group reservations must be made under a single name or may not be seated together.

All sales are final and non-refundable. We are also unable to transfer class tickets to another date. All participants purchasing alcohol pairings must be 21+ with a valid ID.

Many of you know Ben, a fan fav BFF alumn. Well, August 14 is Ben's Gotcha Day so we are throwing an UltiMutt Superhero Bash as we raise funds for BFF in Ben's memory. BFF rescued Ben and got him through multiple surgeries, customized legbrace fittings, and physical/laser therapy. Thanks to BFF, Ben transformed from a medically complex stray at CACC to the brave, bionic, happy superdog who lived his best life, made friends with the entire neighborhood, and was best buds with his big bro Hans (and together, they became the Beardo Pack! Check out their insta: @the.beardo.pack). So bring you, your friends, and your doggos, and help us give Ben, beloved BFF superstar alumn, a birthday bash fit for a superhero!

Food and drink for humans and doggos - superhero costumes encouraged!

Cheers and thanks for helping us support a great organization in memory of the best little (big) bionic superdog, Ben
