Except I live in Missouri and will have to make said pizza from scratch. Recommendations for a solid cheese to use for this? Was thinking a mozzarella+cabot cheddar mixture, leaning more on the mozzarella.

Also, what kind of sauce is used? I'm assuming an olive oil garlic base?

I actually have never had the Green Mountain Pizza, was more referring to my friend Lou who hangs out at Parker Pie all the time, if you know what I mean.

No pizza captures the peculiar genius of the Parker Pie Company as powerfully as its Green Mountain Special, an inspired combination of wilted spinach, cheddar, red onion, crisp apple slices, and Vermont Smoke and Cure bacon

I'd go heavy on the cheddar and less to none on the mozz.

Also, still not the best pizza/beer combo on Earth, which is a white clam pie at Modern and whatever NEBCO is on tap, but I digress.

You need to. Green Mountain Special + Lou Pepe Framboise = perfect. Dat Parker Pie bottle list.

Vermont smoke and cure bacon: Check. Cabot sharp cheddar: Check. Vermont maple syrup: Check. Yeah, we're doing this.

Yup, split a Green Mtn. Special and LP Gueuze and LP Kriek with a couple guys last week. Trading buddies from Wisconsin making a visit to HF, it was an awesome time. We ordered the Cantillon and I made them guess how much they though they bottles were. Guesses were, I think $50 and $45.

Nope, not how Parker Pie rolls.

Regarding pizza, I once heard there was maple syrup in their pizza crust as well? Also, the thing that really brings it together is the parmesean on the crust. And the unbelievable bacon. Apple is good, and I love onions. Cheddar. No mozz. Do it.

 

[Osyrus]

You guys just love to spoil all the Parker Pie bottle fun, huh?


Also be sure to try the wings with Scott's sauce! Or my favorite, as was introduced to me not so long ago... a mix of Scott's and Buffalo sauces.

Yes. The Scott's Revenge pizza with the chili oil and shrimp is also fantastic.

I got these last time I went up. Good sauce

Yeah the secret is the maple syrup is lightly brushed on the crust like a sauce. I'm not sure if there's any other sauce involved. The other secret is the incredible bacon. kcbaby, Was it north country smokehouse? Something like that.

 

[justforrazors]

Dough is rising, running to the store for a couple ingredients, will post results over in the Food Porn thread once it is complete. I've taken a lot of the advice you guys have given me- I used a little maple syrup in the dough, and plan on doing a traditional olive oil/garlic sauce, but cutting the oil with half maple syrup. Going with a mix of sharp and mild cabot cheddars. Apple recommendations? Was just thinking granny smith to provide some tart to balance the sweetness of the syrup.

There is raw garlic (minced) sprinkled amongst the toppings as well. Remember to use a ****-ton of spinach, it wilts to nothing while it bakes. The pizza is like 2-3 inches tall with spinach before they bake it.

I know! I usually don't, got carried away this morning.

THE PRICES ARE REALLY HIGH EVERYONE. It's crazy, don't go there.

srs.

Positive Pie in Hardwick has some great beer and pie, AND it's on the way back to Waterbury.

West Glover is kinda outta the way and I mean maple syrup on pizza? Sounds awful.

Thank you! I was trying to figure out where I stopped coming back from HF. Delicious pizza indeed, although the taplist that day was a little disappointing for me (day or two after an Allagash tap takeover haha)

 

[DmouthCaliBrewz]

I thought I would beat all the Alchemist peeps going to HF Saturday, nope! But got to see some friends while waiting and got to sample something sweet.

sameeeeee oh well thats the way the cookie crumbles.

wow, so you can't just have a pint there? i guess i didn't realize that at all!

well thanks for the into, we'll try to get there early then. no stranger to long lines (DLD lols), but we may not have 4-5 hours to burn as opposed to 1-2 hours.

thanks again, cheers!

The trek out to the farm isn't really about going there to drink beer, its more about the journey itself. Go with some friends, and definitely do the HF to waterbury loop, making sure to stop at parker/positive/pro-pig/rez to eat and drink. The drive is so damn beautiful and you get to drink so much great beer and eat so much great food along the way (hopefully you will be in good company as well) that the trip should be worth it regardless of the lines at HF. I like to think that if I got to HF and shaun said "hey sorry we are out of beer" I would be completely ok with it because the rest of the day was such a fun excursion. I think I have even decided not to wait in the weekend lines upon arriving there once or twice before, but still never regretted going up since the trip in itself is so fun.

all bout dat mindset doe

Brett's got it. It sounds stupid, but making the trip up there is fun in itself and if you cap it off with a stop somewhere in Waterbury or at Parker Pie or Positive Pie, it's a damn good time no matter how long you wait in line at HF. There also tends to be good beer talk in the line, and you get your tasters, etc. Plenty of worse ways to kill time.

Plus the scenery is amazing. Or so the flatlanders say. I just call it home.

Yep, Auror, it was North Country Smokehouse. That pizza was delicious.

I'll be making the pilgrimage in a couple weeks and I've been wondering, is it cool to open bottles in line? I figure there might be some folks interested in trying some PNW beers while they wait.

At HF? About 99% sure you cannot as it may get the brewery in trouble

Yeah open containers of any kind other than the samples they pour are strictly forbidden.

But I agree it would be cool to be able to open bottles in line.

Gotcha. It's funny, people always come to visit Oregon and seem amazed that you can't open bottles in lines for releases, and that you have to have a licensed server open everything if you have a bottleshare at a bar. I'd just started to assume that no other state cared.

They were having difficulty being able to serve paid-for tastings/samples to people in line when the line was outside of the brewery prior to the current ongoing expansion. And yet they would do it while under a gazebo. That's how stupid these regulations can get (is the requirement a permanent roof? lulz)

aaaaand now I want this exact pizza and a bottle of Cantillon for lunch. Glad I'm off today and didn't feel like doing homework anyway.

You have a father and son avatar. You are drinking beer with your father, or your son. Or are you both the father and the son?

edit: your pizza came out insanely delicious looking.... totally reminds me of the Green Mtn Special.

I am the son. My dad just so happens to be a professional chef and I've learned a few things.

Edit: if this answer displeases you, I can be the father, son, and holy ghost?

Ahh, that explains it! Definitely high caliber. Nice to be able to enjoy some good beer with your pops as well.

Exciting. Guess I'll plan my travel accordingly to be around that week. Anyone else here thinking of volunteering?

Oh OK, I thought he was cancelling the Anny all together. Didn't realize he'd still be having something offsite.
