PW Pizza Great Divide Beer Dinner 2021

Another full year of pizza + beer dinners at home makes me a little sad, but I'm just happy they've found a way to keep them going. I smiled when I saw the name "Bish" on the pick up list as they were our constant tablemates. I hope they're enjoying the beer and pizzas as much as we still are...

I had to look back through my past blog posts and we did have beer from Great Divide Brewing back in 2019 so there are a couple of repeats, but a couple new beers to try too!

For something new, our starter was a charcuterie plate, which was mostly filled with cheese to my delight!

The "boar" pizza was a little gamey tasting to me.

Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed a "ham" pizza...shh, don't tell.

The Mixed Berry Crumble was delicious and was appropriately paired with the "fruity" Strawberry Rhubarb Sour Ale.

PW Pizza Great Divide Beer Dinner 2019

I wasn't too familiar with Great Divide and this may have been their first time at PW Pizza for their beer dinner series. I admit that I do love their cans with the large letters... I'm sure it would grab your attention in the store!

We started off the night with their seasonal Strawberry Rhubarb Sour Ale. This was actually "not too sour" and seemed more like a sweet and fruity summer beer. This beer was purposely paired with a fruit salad as well, although the Spicy Watermelon Fruit Salad was a little too spicy for me! (The new chefs this year really like to heat things up!)

I love the name of the first pizza...Wakey Bakey pizza, which is perfect for a breakfast pizza! There really were scrambled eggs on the pizza with lots of veggies and sausage gravy. This was paired with Colette, a farmhouse ale. I enjoyed another "easy to drink" beer, although it did ring up at 7.3% ABV.

Yet, the Muffuletta pizza was the best, probably because I normally love olives on a pizza, but the salami and ham went great on top too. This pizza was paired with the Titan IPA, which helped to cut through the grease of the meaty pizza.

I love the name Roadie for a beer and it makes sense to show a guy on a bicycle too. It's really a grapefruit radler, another seasonal beer, but the grapefruit was just too much for me. The stuffed banana muffin was amazing anyway, thanks to it being stuffed with chocolate ganache!

The edible flowers were so pretty too!
