I may be stealing a future post from Dave, but for those of you that don't really enjoy the combination try a stout sometime. A friend of mine has turned me onto the fact that a stout really helps to cut through the acidity in a red sauce and make for a very nice pairing.

Ya know, I really like ESB's with my pizza's. Homemade with a ton of toppings!

I prefer the delicate flavor and palate of a DIPA with my pizza

:lol:

Then again, the pizza is just filler when i am drinking a good beer!

With a two sentence thread? I can go on for at least a couple of pages on this topic (which is why I have a blog - no one else would let me prattle on that long . . .). Thanks for the consideration all the same.

Cheers,

Dave

Gotta go with Scotty P on this one--IPA is my favorite combo with most pizza! And, that must be the reason why O'Fallon 5-Day has becoame so successful at pizza places while I was with O'Fallon--Dewey's, Black Thorn, PI, etc.

Although, with the spicy sauce at Black Thorn, a couple of knowledgable ladies pointed out to me that O'Fallon Smoked Porter goes perfectly (or a stout, for that matter).

Eating some leftover Pi pizza from last night right now and decided to go with a nice IPA that I picked up over at Bon Vivant today along with grabbing my stash of AlphaKing. It's Two-Brother's Heavy Handed IPA and it is tasty and damn good with the pizza. So Scotty good call, I second the IPA choice.

Im definately in the pale/IPA boat in terms of pizza and beer.

A good sausage/pepperoni pizza with SN Celebration ale is one of the greatest food/beer parings i have ever had.

I agree ejd. Sierra Nevada Celebration and a pepperoni pizza is a favorite combination of mine also.

My favorite beer/pizza combination is Bud Select with a Tombstone Pizza.

Or maybe not.

My personal favorite is shelly's deluxe from fortell's and Unibroue Maudite. Something about the green peppers and bacon and that brown belgian strong ale.

I've had a 5-Day at Dewey's. Quite good. Haven't tried a stout, though; are we talking Oatmeal Stout, Imperial Stout, Dry Stout, Chocolate Stout, what?
