Michael Lee makes a variety of cheeses on a small scale using milk from his own herd of goats as well as cow's milk of nearby dairies.

The Butterwick cheeses are made exclusively with the milk from milk from Butterwick Farm of Cornwall, VT owned by John and Lisa Roberts. The herd of 150 or so of Brown Swiss and Holstein cows, are on a primarily grass diet and produce a milk that is rich, sweet, clean, and consistent.

This version of the Butterwick is a larger wheel with a clean, lightly washed rind and a semi-firm interior. The flavors are milky and salty with a touch of creamy tanginess. This is a great beer cheese.
