2. That Grate Feeling

All cheese lovers can relate to the heavenly feeling of consuming cheese, as multiple studies have shown that eating cheese produces dopamine, which is the chemical that make us happy. And while this may seem cheesy, listening to The String Cheese Incident also gives us that grate feeling inside!

3. The Community

There are very few communities that are as gouda and friendly as the String Cheese fanbase, and we’re so grateful to be a part of it! Though we may dis-a-brie from time to time over which jam is best, it’s impossible to be mad at one another as we listen to String Cheese shred.

4. The Pairings

While we love cheese alone, there’s no denying that it pairs incredibly well with others, food and drink alike! For instance, we love having Brie with Chardonnay, some Gouda and Merlot, or sprinkling Parmesan over red sauce – cheese just adores mingling with others! Meanwhile, String Cheese pairs well with anyone and knows how to adjust when onstage jamming with others.

At social gatherings, it seems as though people always gather around the cheese platters, and it’s for a gouda reason!

7. The Health Benefits

While cheese can be mixed or topped on everything, there are health benefits to eating it alone! Just like eating cheese gives you the calcium you need to strengthen your bones, going to String Cheese shows promotes gouda health as well – dancing around as they jam out is a great work out, not to mention that you’re stretching your face muscles by cheesing so hard the entire time!

Since their founding in 1993, The String Cheese Incident has matured and grown with their fans. String Cheese constantly proves that they’re still sharp by writing amazing new songs while adding new magic to the old.
