What is your favourite beer with pizza?

[poptarts]

IPA and pizza is my go to, anything bold and spicy pairs really good with IPA. There is a Thai place in my town that makes amazing spicy squid fried rice and holy wow that is so good with a big DIPA

The 3 C's of diamonds= Cut, Clarity and Carat.
The 3 C's of beverage paring= Cut, Complement, and Contrast.

The trick is to include all the ingredients. For instance a hefeweizen would complement the yeast and wheat of the crust, tartness will cut through the cheese, and the fruitiness will contrast the savory toppings.

That's why I think the particular type of IPA counts here. More sessionable ones with pizzas that tend to the savory. The bolder ones with spicy...

Here's another great one that I discovered this past weekend at Bullman's Wood-Fired Pizza in Helena, Montana:

Flensburger Pilsener:

This was absolutely wonderful with our pizza, which was sort of a Pizza Margherita (tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil) with pepperoni added. It was a bit malty, yet had a nice, crisp-ish mouth-feel, and what seemed like a touch of honey at the end.

My favourite "pizza beer" is probably still Becks, with Peroni as a very close second; but when it came to this, I was a huge fan, and will definitely try it again, one of these days.

Any other good pizza beers out there?

Had a pizza with Spanish Serrano ham and green olives with fresh basil at a cafe just down the street from the Basilica in Budapest last night. Paired it with a half liter of Pilsner Urquell. Went down nice and easy.

I can't explain it (don't judge): Sam Adams Boston Lager

It's been my go-to Pizza beer since I first had it in 2005.

I've tried IPAs, Porters, Pale Ales, Saisons, Pilsners, Coors Light, Miller Light... but nothing "works" for me like Boston Lager does.

No Boston Lager? I go with water.

One that I would like to add to my own list is Beltian White, from Harvest Moon Brewing Company in Belt, Montana:

It went quite well with a straight-up pepperoni-and-mushroom pizza!

Pizza Port Swamis IPA

Yeah!! I love that they package in 6-pk of pint cans now!
Ha, I had totally forgotten the difference between Port Brewing and Pizza Port brewing until about a week ago and a friend reminded me.
