Comments on: Pizza beer . . . no, really http://www.realbeer.com/blog/?p=497 What part of beer don't you understand? Mon, 13 May 2013 13:22:00 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Richinator http://www.realbeer.com/blog/?p=497&cpage=1#comment-172259 Richinator Fri, 15 May 2009 05:36:50 +0000 http://www.realbeer.com/blog/?p=497#comment-172259 They have this beer available at the Melody Inn in Indianapolis. I bought it for the sheer novelty of pizza flavor in a beer and wasn't expecting anything spectacular. Here's my take: First sip didn't seem like the beer was flavored -it was quite an interesting sensation instead - it seemed like I was drinking a normal beer in a pizzarea - the pizza taste transcended into a pizza smell with normal beer taste. I was impressed and had a few friends try it, touting, "you gotta have some of this!". But the novelty did wear off near the end of the bottle (it's a large bottle - 16 ounces or so) and in the end it tasted like someone dropped a pizza flavored Combo snack cracker in my beer. It's worth a try, I may have another someday but it's not one of those you want more than one of in an evening. Do try it - it IS a conversation piece.

Frank McCarron just took a 1st place in the Western Division, International Pizza Competition, used the beer in the crust. I agree, I've seen "Thick as Tar", "Red like Blood" comments. I don't think these folks really tried it. It's a very low viscosity beer with an og of 1.046 and a TG of 1.010 and all malts used were basic, nothing that would make it red. Even the 1st home brew and the Payton brew where we tried to "dye" it red with beets in the mix did not get any kind of red. Go git yerself some! Bryan,

( Not available here yet.. soon though!) Was actually very, very good. Not overpowering, just a nice mild brew that went down well. Slight hints to the herbs used but what do you think oats, barley and grains are. Those that have slammed it I doubt have even tried it. Probably just unhappy brewmasters with no creativity. Not a beer you'll down 6 in a row, but a great companion to a wood fired pizza. Kuddos! Was able to try a glass today in Southern California. ( Not available here yet.. soon though!)

They had it at woodmans and it was $1.99 for one bottle and i wasted my money. It is so thick like tar. and the spices are overpowering.... just mix some thick pasta sauce in with some cheep beer and it is the same taste. Save yourself the money! This stuff was just bad.

I was going to a party and decided this would be fun to bring. We poured it into 10 plastic cups and all drank. This beer literally tastes like if you drank a 6 pack of budweiser and ate half a Tombstone pizza and then threw up. That aftertaste in your mouth would taste very similar to this beer. Kudos to the brewer for trying something different, but he should've kept it in his garage. I bought one of these beers a month or two ago on a whim.

As if the brewer were using some sort of pop advertising techniques to make this brew into a pop phenomena. Sure it tastes like pizza, but I question why you’d ever want a beer to taste like pizza? I read the comment on the beer about pairing up foods. No one pairs up drink w/ a dish if they taste the same. That would be like having a cheeseburger along with liquid cheeseburger beer. I tried this at Payton’s Roundhouse, and it was just too strange. I don’t believe anyone there was too crazy about it either. It’s more of a beer that people would try once, to say they tried it. Best of luck to the business man / brewer with future brews. It was a successful beer as far as execution. Maybe try fusing pairings of flavors that doesn’t taste like greasy comfort food.
