North Carolina Brewery Creates Pizza-Flavored Beer For National Beer Day On April 7
Last year, I told you about a South Carolina restaurant that infuses beer into its pizza. In fact, many restaurants are now adding beer to their pizza recipes. That includes beer in the crust, beer cheese on the pie, and proteins such as sausage or chicken cooked in beer as a pizza topping. But what about the other way around? Yup. Pizza-flavored beer is now a thing.
According to Delish, a new pizza-flavored beer is coming our way just in time for National Beer Day on April 7th. This unusual libation is the brain-child of top-ranked frozen pizza brand Tombstone and New Belgium Brewing Company, which has breweries in Fort Collins, Colorado and Asheville, North Carolina.
Using New Belgium’s beloved Voodoo Ranger IPA as the basis, the beer and pizza brands have created I(Pizza)A. It reportedly incorporates all the flavors of a freshly-baked Tombstone pizza, so you’ll taste the crust, tomato sauce, herbs, spices, and even pepperoni. That should make for some zesty burps.
Before the official National Beer Day launch on April 7th, New Belgium Brewing’s Voodoo Ranger is giving you a chance to win a free four-pack and a Tombstone pizza. Just head to VoodooRanger.com to enter. You can also try to buy the pizza-flavored beer, but it will only be available in select markets for a limited time and at a hefty price. A four-pack of I(Pizza)A will set you back about $50. Mamma mia! Still, I wouldn’t mind trying an ice cold pint of pizza just to say I did it.
