Sounds disgusting, anyone tried it?

Pizza-flavoured beer to get UK launch

A pizza-flavoured beer, which contains tomatoes, basil, garlic and oregano, is set to go on sale in the UK later this year.

Tom and Athena Seefurth from Illinois, America, launched the beverage - which contains tomatoes, basil, oregano and garlic - in the US five years ago and it is now in line for its British debut.

''The best way to describe it would be that it tastes the way it would if you eat a chunk of pizza, then take a swig of beer.''

Tom explained: ''It tastes like normal beer when it's on your tongue. But when you swallow you get an aftertaste of pizza topping.

Sounds like the same effect you get when you belch.

i'm not a fan of ruining anything i like...so no flavored coffee, tobacco, beer, etc. but i'm not normal

I agree with this totally.... Beer is supposed to be cold, and either light or dark.....

[Ursula]

the only flavoured beer i've liked was a Raspberry wheat beer that when drank in large enough quantities makes your pee smell like berries.....

i am a fan of flavoured rolling papers and blunt wraps as well...

other than that i agree with the others, no flavoured weirdness... pizza beer sounds kinda gross, why not just drink a Ceaser or Bloody Mary as they call it in the USA

I dont like beer thats been fucked about with or cheese/coffee. @Ursula some of the Belgian fruit flavoured, lambic beers, are quite nice though.

[Ursula]

[Bauzzza]

Peach lambic is the best!

[rexyruru]

pizza flavored beer? now that is some real life willy wonka shit!

[andrea]

This is only slightly more disgusting to me than beer + clamato.

[JAllen]

i'm real curious what happens if you eat pizza with this beer.

[RoryQ]

I've heard of this before but never tried it - Mamma Mia! Pizza Beer?

To be honest any speciality beer which involves fruit, coffee, honey, smoke, hemp, oatmeal, guava, gingseng, whiskey or whatever is going to be 'love it or hate it'. Personally I think coffee flavours can work in a stout or porter, and there's a locally brewed hemp IPA here that is pretty popular. There's obviously there's a lot of popular beers which are aged in whiskey, rum or bourbon barrels to develop an unusual flavour. And Christmas ales, with ginger, nutmeg, etc? People have been brewing using fruits and alternatives to grains for a long time.

I think special offerings do have a place in the beer market. Sure, most of the time I am happy with a conventional well-made ale, stout etc. with no bells or whistles, but there are times when it's good to see the envelope being pushed. Imagine if we applied a logic to food whereby we said he only want certain flavour combinations and nothing 'out there'...

A tomato and basil element in a beer strikes me, personally, as pretty disgusting, but then again I can't understand how people can eat canned tuna, so to each their own....

Surprised it not bacon flavored f this bulldog I wish people did not have to try so hard!!"

[scott]

Makes me think of heart burn. for me its a pint of cider or whiskey im not fussy

[gougetheeyes]

why not just drink a Ceaser or Bloody Mary as they call it in the USA

A Ceasar is the Canadian equivalent of a Bloody Mary?

[jade1955]

I tried that chilli flavoured beer once. I like chilli I like beer.

Didn't like this though.

[Ursula]

A Ceasar is the Canadian equivalent of a Bloody Mary?

kind of, bloody marys to me are more like a shit version of a Ceasar. I think Ceasars are better. It's Clamato juice which you don't have in some parts of the USA. Clamato is a tomato juice flavoured with clam juice. Then you add vodka, horseradish, tobasco sauce, rim a tall glass with celery salt add ice, garnish with typically a stalk of celery but it's amazing with a piece of pickled asparagus. It's like a bloody mary with but a lot more flavour and heat.

[jade1955]

Never heard of Clamato before.

Sounds like a tomato with chlamydia.

[Shannon Shirley]

I love clamato. I would drink clamato all day everyday. So......this pizza beer ,....doesnt sound good. But if you can't dig a tomato-beer. which for some of us ,is a normal breakfast beverage. you probably aint gonna dig that. ahhhhh lambic, hard to come by in the nether regions of America, I think champagne yeast. I yousta make alota beer. meads,doublebocks, everything i could figure out,So much fun. no good supply houses in the south. Berkeley yousta have a great one, I think its still there. God ,I miss the Bay.

[Shannon Shirley]

that is funny though, tomato juice with clam juice, excellent with tequila, or mezcal over ice, a little salt on the rim. Odelay way!

[CaptCanada]

There is a drink called red eye it's tomato and beer. Doesn't seem to extream, but a pizza beer no, just no. And a ceaser seems to be a real bloody marry, not a cheap shit one.

[Ursula]

@capcanada the main difference is the clam flavour in the clamato.. gives it this distinct taste.. i've tried cesars and bloodies in all kinds of places and no matter what you do, without the clam it's not the same!

the tomato beer sounds interesting. i love tomatoes and beer is alight too...

[CaptCanada]

So why not add real clam juice to a BM?

Heres one for the pooch. Doggy beer.
