PW Pizza Oskar Blues Beer Dinner 2022

I had to do some research, but the last time PW Pizza did an Oskar Blues was May 2017 so the only repeat I had before was "Old Chub" (make your own joke), the big Scottish ale with 8% ABV! And both times it was paired with dessert!

I think this dessert might be the better of the two since this year it was a Peanut Butter Pie, which was a great pairing.

My other favorite pairing was the Goat Cheese and Oskar's Lager, so refreshing and easy to drink, plus it cut through the thick goat cheese. I probably could have just made that dinner and just spoon it up!

I preferred the Shrimp Scampi Pizza, but it was paired with a very hoppy Western Mutant 7% ABV. 

The Hot Italian pizza had a kick to it thanks to the hot capicola, red onions, and pepperoncini! This made sense to pair with an IPA, the Double Dale, which was even bigger at 9% ABV.

PW Pizza Oskar Blues Beer Dinner 2017

I believe Oskar Blues has done a PW Pizza beer dinner recently in the past, but looking through my blog, I don't see that I've attended one, so their beers are fairly new to me. I do see 'em in the store all the time.

A cleverly named Mamma's Little Pils started things off. Still a little too hoppy for me at 35 IBUs. This was paired with a beautiful Radish Trifecta Salad.

The Priscilla American Wit (where fun and fantasy meet?) really helped cut through all the goat cheese on the "Wheat Wit?" Pizza. Of course the Wheat Crust was used for this one!

The high ABV (8.7%) and high IBU (60) G'Knight was definitely needed to cut through the Romesco Sauce on the Charred Shishito Pizza. Monterey Jack, chicken, corn, and red onion made for a heavy pizza.

And the funniest laugh was for the Old Chub Scottish Ale served with the dessert course: Caramel Apple Crisp with Whipped Cream.

Certainly a brewery that doesn't take themselves too seriously!
