There's no better meal than pizza and beer. That's just a fact of life like gravity or Lindsay Lohan's insobriety. Apparently, a couple in Illinois loved the combination so much they decided to brew a beer that tastes like pizza . The Margarita pizza is put into the mash & steeped like a tea bag. A whole wheat crust made with water, flour & yeast is topped with tomato, oregano, basil & garlic. The essence of the pizza spices is washed off with hot water and filtered into a brewpot, where it is boiled [...]

There's something in the air right now with beer cans and astro chimps… but is it a ripoff? I saw on BeerNews that Hunstville, AL's Straight To Ale just got approval on their Monkeynaut IPA can label. While the artwork is indeed rad, it sure reminds me of a can that's been, um, floating around for almost a year now… Bitter American from San Francisco's 21st Amendment has the same jettisoned space [...]

What happens when you combine smoking jackets with thinking caps? Drinking mittens, dude. Wave hello to the über-specific, Scandinavian-designed Sküüzy . When not filled with a beer, I would imagine, that hole is as useful as the double umlauts. But that's just one more excuse to fill it with another beer. Snag 'em for half off with a Groupon this week or order from their site . What's with beer geekery and unnecessary umlauts? Exhibits A, B, C: BRÖÖ Craft Beer Shampoo , Highwater 's Retribütion Ale and these double-entendre shirts [...]

If you hadn't realised, we like beer. We like drinking it. We like drinking new versions of it. We like talking about it. That's why, when the mighty Clutch released their own beer, we thought we'd talk to singer, Neil Fallon about beer. Talking about beer is the second most enjoyable beer-related activity after drinking the lovely, lovely stuff, after all. Mmmm. Beer. Neil Fallon tells us about his Top 6 beers: 1) Clutch [...]

The third release from San Francisco 's Almanac Beer Co. , Orange Wit , will be out just in time for SF Beer Week . The brew not only continues their trademark killer design and packaging (dig that gold foil!) but also their fresh, localvore approach to ingredients—with pesticide-free oranges from Hamada Farm in Kingsburg and fresh ginger root from Mellow's Nursery in Morgan Hill. More info here . [Photo via Almanac Facebook ] You can treat yourself to their Autumn Farmouse Pale '11 right now. [...]

By Vincent Rendoni I'm visiting my family in Washington. I've only been at my mother's house for about four hours, but I'm already reaching for a couple of beers. I take them from the outside fridge, and speed past barking dogs and bickering relatives to my mother's deck. I close the sliding glass door and suddenly it's quiet. I light a citronella candle to fend off mosquitoes and crane flies, sit myself in a lounge chair out of sight from my family, and take in the sunset over Puget Sound. I have this one rule: I don't drink alone. Except [...]

Chicago has long been one of the best food destinations in the world, and its goods go way beyond deep dish pizza and hot dogs. Time Out Chicago has released its "100 best things we ate and drank" from the year, and the all-inclusive list categorizes everything from food trucks to beers found across town. If you're still celebrating, top on the drink list includes an "old-fashioned injected with a syringe into an orb of ice." And if craft cocktails aren't your thing, maybe a Mathias Imperial IPA from brewpub Haymarket [...]

Since her sudden death of July 23rd 2011, Amy Winehouse has been the focus of more tributes than can be counted. From Bruno Mars at the VMAs to Green Day at their secret show, quite a few high profile artists have thrown their musical hats into the ring of Amy tributes. Not to say all of these aren't sincere, but the truth of the matter is that most of these artists had most likely never been as affected as a true Brit. That's where Matthew Beer's Falling Asleep is different. Born in Birmingham, Matthew has been a [...]

The holidays are a very slow time for new music release. Conversely, they are a boom time for seasonal beer releases! I thought what better way to fill some space than with a survey of my seasonal beer sampling, complete with my own uninformed opinion and random rating system. So here it goes: Wychwood Bah Humbug Christmas Cheer Ale Alcohol- 5.0% LCBO price- $3.50 for 500ml A dark [...]

A couple items I couldn't help but share… You can Callin' Oates . Yes, you can do. When you're out and need an emergency hit, dial 719-26-OATES . Or click callinoates.com . Consider it a holiday miracle, with love from the Interwebs. Drink Holland Oates from Stillwater Unlike the unfortunately-true MMMHop beer from Hanson , this is not an official Hall & Oates brew. But [...]

As many of you know, I'm a beer aficionado (or, as it's more commonly known, an alcoholic). I like to try new craft beers, and do so regularly. And because of my crippling OCD, I keep lists of what I've tried and how it was, just in case I'm at a bar and they have [...]

We selected Saen's artwork back in September, but his contest-winning submission won't be posted until [...]

Si de cerveza se trata, a todos nos sale la creatividad de cómo conseguirla, cómo tomarla y con quién tomarla... pero sin duda los que nos la venden son muchos más creativos, como muestra, una selección de algunos de los comerciales que más nos han llamado la atención. ¡Salud! Este anuncio de Cerveza Tiger sin duda es muy bueno Éste es de Guiness... tenía que serlo. Anuncio cerveza Buckler...sin alcohol. Éste más bien es en contra de la cerveza, [...]
