Beer and pizza, pizza in beer

I like beer with a lot of different foods, from all sorts of different places. Indeed, entire books have been written on the subject (none of which I’ve actually read). But surely one food which goes well with beer is pizza.

Now, I must confess to often choosing a big-bodied red wine with my favorite slice, but there are plenty of times I’ll enjoy a nice pilsner or other lager-style beer instead. The flavors in beer seem to compliment those in pizza, it’s as simple as that. Or perhaps not.

You see, someone has decided that if those two flavors go together, why not simply combine the two? So they have brewed – get this – pizza-flavored beer. According to the beer’s creator, they expect it to be used for cooking (which I can understand) as well as for drinking (which I can’t).
