Beer: Mamma Mia Pizza Beer
This is the most Willy Wonka-ian concoction I have ever experienced.
Found at Dobby’s liqours in Palatine, IL. Not far from the funeral home with the miniature golf course in basement.
Starting with the aroma, my sister Pam described it best, “… like it’s been sitting out in an old pizzeria and sucked up all the smells.” But in a good way.
The taste is where it gets all Wonka-y. Remember the three-course-dinner gum that turned Violet into a giant blueberry? This is like the pizza-breadsticks-and-a-beer version. First, your tongue is smacked with the unmistakable tang of tomato. Then the spicyness of basil and oregano. Followed by chewy garlicky breadsticks. Finished with a borderline-flat beer finish. Crazy. I’m still waiting to morph into a giant tomato.
Mamma Mia Pizza Beer is brewed by Sprecher Brewing (maker of my favorite craft root beer) from the “Original Seefurth Family Recipe”. More info here.
