World's Strangest Liquors
Pizza Beer
Illinois, U.S.A.
Description: In 2006, Tom and Athena Seefurth wanted to create a beer that would “pair with our favorite food.” Pizza beer was born. The couple has since gone commercial, hand-chopping the hundreds of pounds of wheat crust, garlic, oregano, tomato, and basil for their malty concoction. But you won’t need to chew to down the brew; pizza beer is 100 percent debris-free-the ingredients are filtered after steeping, leaving just a soupçon of the “essence of pizza.”
Where to Find It: At Sam’s Wine and Spirits, Top Shelf Wine and Spirits, and at more than 200 retailers and restaurants in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
