Beer and Pizza: The Perfect Pairings for Every Type of Dough
Pizza is the quintessential Italian dish, but few people know that craft beer - more than wine - is the ideal drink for enhancing its flavors. Carbonation cleanses the palate between bites, while the beer's bitter or fruity notes complement tomatoes, mozzarella, and toppings.
Margherita Pizza → Lager or Wit
The delicate balance of a Margherita calls for a light, clean beer. A craft Lager or a Belgian Witbier with notes of coriander and citrus does not overpower the mozzarella and enhances the sweetness of the tomato. Discover our craft Lagers →
Diavola Pizza → IPA or APA
The spiciness of Diavola pizza finds its counterpoint in the resinous bitterness of an IPA. The alcohol and tropical hops balance the capsaicin and prolong the pleasure of each bite. Explore the IPA/APA collection →
Mushroom Pizza → Amber Beer or Brown Ale
The earthy flavors of mushrooms call for a beer with caramelized and roasted notes. A Brown Ale or an Italian craft Amber beer creates an analogy pairing that always works. Discover Amber Beers →
Seafood Pizza → Saison or Gose
The acidity and savoriness of seafood pair perfectly with a dry, spicy Saison or a Gose with saline notes. An unusual but highly effective pairing.
Roman Tray-Baked Pizza → Session IPA or Pale Ale
Thick, airy pizza with more toppings calls for a refreshing beer with character. A Session IPA or a Pale Ale balances the richness without being heavy.
