Maybe a brewery can do a craft beer version of this to answer the age old question of what beer pairs with a Hawaiian pizza.
If you want proof (bad too early pun, sorry) that brewers treat (ugh, another one) water with a lot of thought and care, then look no further than Beachwood who have a new pizza place in Huntington Beach.
They took the dough so seriously that they now have special water that they sell that you can use to make your own pizza dough. I am somewhat tempted to buy and taste it.
I was lucky enough to make an early pizza visit to the new El Segundo Brewing, Slice & Pint.
Here are some glamour shots of beer and pizza…
The pizza was really good. The ingredient balance was just right and you could tell that thought had been put into each one. I mean, they tasted a lot of pepperoni to find one that had the right flavor and size and would look good too. The space is really nice. Lengthy, with well defined areas including a spot that could be used for private parties with its own taps.
The next time ESBC has a beer release that I am in the area for, I will probably stop here either before or after.
Denver. I need to go back. I have been twice and I have missed Hops & Pie both times!
I am a pizza fan. Ken’s ArtisanPizza in Portland is my all-time favorite but any pizza sets my stomach to hungry. So I will be back to this Denver locale because I can get a pie and then get some Renegade, Strange or Left Hand beers or something on nitro like Upslope Stout or a Dry Dock IPA from a hand pull. I could go on and on.
