The lowest common denominator.
Ok, who likes pizza raise your hands. Alright, who likes beer put the other hand up. Anyone who doesn't have two hands raised is most likely dead or unable to digest enjoyable foodstuffs. beer is great we all know that, it is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy (B. Franklin)
And pizza is the universal food. If you intend to feed twelve people you know little about you order pizza, when you reward children you throw a pizza party. Pizza and beer are both almost without exception enjoyed by all people. Tom Seefurth has as such provided us the next logical conclusion pizza beer. That's right it is beer that is seasoned like a hot slice of 'za.
This is my least favorite of culinary inspiration plans. This thing is pretty good, this other thing is pretty good too. How's about I stick um together. Don't do it! I love peanut butter, and I really like a good cup of coffee, I'll never mix them. But, based on the soaring sales of Reese's peanut butter cup (which i love) people have been mixing favorites for centuries in an attempt to find the next big winner. A couple summers ago I saw a "grapple", that is an apple flavored like a grape in case you were unclear. Why is this necessary? What situation can you conceivably find yourself in and think good i want a grape and an apple. but i just don't have time to eat both. It is just a grossly unneeded product. What about Goober Grape???? whose plan was that monstrosity. Or and I know I'm gonna piss some people off here black and tans. I like Guinness, I like Harp, but i can order one drink it and still have room for a second. Irish men slaved over hot kettles to make these beers let's just enjoy them not, muck about because we know more about them. Excuse my digression. Which begs the question. why not eat a slice and order a beer?
To be fair mamma mia is not a bad beer on a strictly run scale. medium bodied, nice golden color, and a nice middle ground on hops, not gonna catch the eye of a stranger but a solid beer to keep in the fridge. Until you realize that after beer you taste oregano, basil, garlic, and smell without question tomato. It honestly left me feeling annoyed i wasn't chewing. the tomato is the most present flavor followed by oregano then malt. This beer really tastes like you just dropped a hunk of pizza in it by accident, threw the bit on the floor and drank down the brew anyway. Which is exactly what i would do. But to make that item on purpose baffles me. Really that is the crux of the problem. The beer is ok as a beer and tastes like they make a decent pizza. but why make this at all. And i mean go ahead and make it once, but base a company on it? it is not as though these beers are an experiment by a big company, they are the only beer produced by the pizza beer company. I just don't understand. I imagine the invention came when an individual was lying on a carpet in his BVD's too high to walk for more food. He then in a moment of desperation found a slice of four day old pizza under the couch. when finding the pizza too hard to eat he dunked it in some flat Heineken just to eat it easier, after a few nights of this. while sobriety still fumbles but the brain has turned back on. this fat and drunk man thinks yes I'll make "pizza flavored beer" and it will be great.
hardly worth rating because this beer is about drinking something not available elsewhere. not making a good beer. Pushed to it I'll give it a 4 out of ten mario carts. I know your going to buy it now out of curiosity for the product. but, I warn you, have pizza nearby since more than anything else you'll wish you were eating pizza.
cowabunga dudes,
Mr. President
