Eeewww... Beer!
I'm thinking I'm gonna need a Beer Porn category soon....
Something’s brewing in a garage in St. Charles. Tom Seefurth is mixing up a concoction he'll eventually pour out as beer – pizza beer.
“It's pizza and beer in a bottle,” Seefurth, a self-proclaimed beer nut, says.
There are actually real pieces of pizza stirred into the mix.
The kettles and tubes of Seefurth’s tiniest of breweries all come together beside the hundreds of beer cans in his collection.
“This is a reflection of my entire life history,” he says.
Too many garden tomatoes cooked up the idea for pizza beer last year. Seeforth and his wife create a tomato garlic puree and bake up the pizza -- in the back yard they pick their own oregano for flavoring.
And back in the brewery Seefurth even grinds his own wheat to get the process started. He'll add other spices, but keeps the recipe a secret.
“The only people who know the recipe are me and my cat, Jethro,” he says.
Seefurth says the flavors of pizza and beer are a natural pairing, and the hobbyist hopes to take drink coast to coast.
In the video, they toss them slices right into the beer, I guess they grind it up later or maybe run it through a food processor or something. The guy also grinds up his grain with a homemade grinder that utilizes a power drill.
Gak! Pizza beer, mixed up in some nut's garage, hmmmm. Call me crazy, but I'm thinking that's gotta be worse than blueberry beer.
Thanks for the tip Sarge, but I think I'll pass.

Well Mr. Seefurth, thank you for visiting my site. Your comment seems to indicate that I have said something untrue about your pizza beer. If I have, please tell mewhat exactly is untrue.
I salute your entrepreneurial spirit, but the idea of pizza flavored beer just does not appeal to me and in fact, grosses me out.

Check it out!
Hopefully, we will be in your town soon. Would like you to sample it. will be going to Utica, NY to meet with a radio station so they can try it.
I agree, the sound of it is weird, the taste is great. Have had many non-beer drinkers try it and say that they would order it at a restaurant & have it with an Italian meal. Anyway, appreciate the support & hope to someday have a brew with you!

sorry sweetie, but I'm in Miami, Fla. I left NY years and years and years ago.

Oh my. I thought the blueberry beer thingy was bad, but can't fathom a pizza beer at all. It might just be me (okay, and you too, Linda!), but I don't even like red beer, let alone red, cheesy, crusty beer. Heh.
