Pizza & Beer Pairings

Pizza & Beer Pairings

It’s National Pizza Day! Which means it’s time to get out there and cheese the day! Yup, you heard that right. Pizza has been given it’s very own day… Let’s be honest, if there’s any dish that deserves the spotlight, it has to be PIZZA! Around the 10th century, it’s believed that pizza originated from Naples, Italy… And since then have captured the hearts & stomachs of SO many cheesy disc lovers from all over the planet!

When it comes to celebrating a day revolving around pizza, the options are endless (just like the toppings)! Aside from trying to make the decision on what flavour to indulge in, it's also necessary to figure out what beer will pair best with it! So, we decided to put together a little Pizza & Beer Pairing guide for you to enjoy!

So we turned to the real beer expert, our brewmaster Nick, to figure it out (we need answers!!). And let’s just say, it’s no wonder everyone’s confused! The difference is hard to pinpoint.
