Skeptical Investigation
Beer That Allegedly Tastes Like Pizza
We’re lovers. You know that. But every now and again, something comes across our
desks that just seems... suspicious. Because of the tremendous material upside to all our lives if these
claims pan out, we at times put ourselves in harm’s way to investigate. Albeit skeptically.
We call it: Skeptical Investigation. (Copyright pending.)
THE CLAIM
That
Mamma Mia! Pizza Beer, a preposterous concoction made by a man
in Chicago—that hotbed of creative pizzaology—tastes exactly like pizza. The secret ingredient: an
infusion process involving, well... pizza.
THE INVESTIGATION
First: we locked our courageous lab technicians in a room yesterday
while some type of sporting event was taking place. (Yes, we mean the Puppy Bowl.) Then came the beer. They
swirled it around and sniffed it. They swished it in their mouths. They paired it with breadsticks and
marinara chasers. There were looks of confusion. Murmurs of uncertainty. Moments of personal reflection.
Things got real.
THE VERDICT
Yes, this beer tastes like pizza. Scarily so, in fact. The tomato sauce
aftertaste and top notes of mozzarella will haunt your dreams. And by dreams we may also mean nightmares.
We’re still not completely sure.
