Pizza Beer

[Cosimo]

No for something different from today's paper:

A bizarre beer that tastes like pizza is to go on sale in bars around the world.

Tom and Anthea Seefurth came up with the idea after creating a quirky brew for a contest. Chicago. “We had been home brewing for about ten years and began to compete in local amateur competitions,” said Mr Seefurth, 49.

“The pattern for the winners is that the beers stood out because they were very tasty and different.

“We went to our garden and neighbours to pick one of every herb and use it in a brew. The beer won high marks and our friend commented that it was a good pizza beer.

“That planted an idea for the next year’s brew — except we would use only pizza spices and toss in tomatoes and a wholewheat pizza crust for fun.”

Mamma Mia Pizza Beer, which is 4.7 per cent alcohol, can be either drunk or used as a meat marinade. The Pizza Beer Company is in talks with a UK retailer.

I can see a queue forming up from the forum residents.

Anyone been lucky enough to try it?

Tasty!

Interesting!

Wonder if it is a one bottle and move on sort of beer or if it is easy drinkable all night beer?

The Margarita pizza is put into the mash & steeped like a tea bag. A whole wheat crust made with water, flour & yeast is topped with tomato, oregano, basil & garlic. The essence of the pizza spices is washed off with hot water and filtered into a brewpot, where it is boiled for a long, long time. During the process, we add hops & spices in a cheesecloth type bag & filter the cooled liquid into a fermentation vessel. (big glass 6 gallon water jug). After a week or two, the beer is good to go. Keg it or bottle it.

This sounds like the weirdest beer. Is it actually going to taste of pizza?

Can't really imagine what that would taste like!

A pizza maybe?

But let's be honest, if this tastes like a cross between a good thin crust margarita and a Peroni, we might have something very interesting.

I've just had an idea from this. When making a pizza dough could you substitute the water for beer?

Yeah, like beer batter.

Edit. There is already recipes for pizza "beer" dough or beer bread.

Sounds distinctly minging.

Would likely still give it a go, though.
