Happy American Cheese Month!!!

All attendees will vote for their favorite cheese & that winner will then be featured in our end-of-month BEST IN SHOW competition to crown Chicago’s choice for 2026 favorite American Cheese!!

Soft Cheese WINNER: Walden from 🐄
Next up: Cheddars & Goudas

Beautiful Rind is TURNING 6!!! Thank you for allowing us to share our love of cheese with you all over Chicagoland for the past 6 years.

Opening an independent cheese shop is challenging at any point in time, but opening a cheese shop in April of 2020 is not for the faint of heart. Thanks to our incredible customers, our passionate staff (past & present) & our producers around the world - we are all the more grateful to be celebrating 6 years!

We’re so excited to celebrate with you, so next week we have multiple classes that will showcase our favorite cheeses & wines we’ve carried over the years. We will also have lots of specials all week long including a BIRTHDAY BOARD comprised of our favorite pairings we’ve ever done (Meredith & Cheetos anyone?!?) Sign up for a class or book your dine-in reservations via the link in our bio! Thank you & here’s to 6 more! 🥂

In this 5-course tasting of 10 cheeses, you and your guests will be seated in our main dining room amongst the action! One of our passionate mongers will guide you through each course, tell stories about the producers, and answer any cheesy questions you may have. As the courses progress, so will the age of the cheeses! If you’ve ever wanted to know more about how cheese is aged & how/why flavors transform over time, this is the tasting for you!
