There are some researchers - Kenneth Shulman and colleagues - at the U of Toronto who have been looking into the MAOI diet for about the last decade. They've found a lot of the restrictions to be unnecessary. Most recently, they did a study of (get this) pizza and found it to be safe. They've also looked at a number of different American and Canadian bottled beers.
Tap or draft beer may not be okay, however.
Cheddar cheese is one of the more aged cheeses, and you pretty much need to stay away from it. The less aged the cheese, the more you can eat, although you still should limit cheese consumption to small amounts (15g in a sitting).
Ricotta, cream, cottage, and American cheeses are all just fine - they're not aged. In general, the more aged a cheese is, the more dangerous it is likely to be.
