Ernest could not WAIT for this week's PW Pizza beer dinner! His mouth was watering...

As much as I love the salads during these virtual beer dinners, I didn't mind PW Pizza mixing it up this time for the first course. We really enjoyed the Red Pepper Hummus and Crostinis along with the Blood Orange Wit Beer...so easy to drink, definitely a patio pounder. Only 4.7% ABV!

The Lemon-Pepper Shrimp Pizza was pretty intense and the Double Dry Hopped Citra IPA couldn't quite keep up since it wasn't overly hoppy. Probably one of the best IPA's we've had in a long time. Only 30 IBUs!

The Chicken Mole Pizza had a lot going on too, with the spice from the mole sauce and red onions. It probably would have been a better fit for an IPA, but we still enjoyed the Irish Red. Very smooth.

The best pairing of the night was the Raspberry Gooey Butter Cake with the Double Berry Berliner. I love fruity beers that are a dessert by themselves!

PW Pizza Six Mile Bridge Beer Dinner

Both Patience and I remember the first Six Mile Bridge beer dinner (in 2015 - I looked it up!) so it was cool to see them again. Not that it's hard to forget a South African dialect. hehe

We still have never made it out to the brewery so I feel bad since now that I've left Maryland Heights, it rare I go back...

The first course was a familiar Citrus Salad, which easily paired with the Blood Orange Wit. This was my favorite beer and went down smooth. So much flavor for a lighter beer!

Chicken Taco Pizza was definitely the winner between the two pizzas of the night, and the cilantro even passed the soapy taste on to the beer to someone who was sensitive to it. The pizza taco ingredients helped to cut through the slight hoppiness of the Double Dry Hopped Citra IPA.

Luau Mango Pizza means that I had to pick off all the ham and bacon, but the Mango BBQ Sauce on the top was amazing. I was surprised at how well it paired with the Cinnamon Maple Stout. You get more maple than you do cinnamon and they both complimented each other in sweetness.

For the third month in a row, we had a chocolate dessert! The chocolate goddesses have heard my cries! Patience and I both had two servings of the White CHocolate Mousse with coffee cookie crumb. The whole dish tasted coffee so the stout might have been a better pairing, but the Irish Red Ale with Honey was another favorite of mine since it was easy to drink.

PW Pizza Six Mile Bridge Beer Dinner

I had been really curious about Six Mile Bridge brewery since they started up in Maryland Heights (right after I moved out) so this was the best way to check out their beers.

Instead of a light salad, we had a unique starter of Eggplant Rotolini. Breaded eggplant shaped like a cannoli with goat cheese inside. This was a great pairing with the easy drinking Bavarian Hefeweizen, which was so smooth and refreshing.

The ultimate course was the Thanksgiving Pizza... I have never had turkey on a pizza before! But it really did taste like thanksgiving dinner with the celery, corn, mashed potatoes, and cranberries on top of the turkey and brown gravy. I was shocked how deliciously "Thanksgiving dinner" this was. Also, I thought it was perfectly paired with the well-balanced Irish Red Ale. Most creative pizza yet!

Of course the Session IPA was paired with the Spicy Sausage Pizza, but the IPA was not too hoppy at all, so the spicy sausage definitely dominated. I definitely prefer this style of IPA myself with only 50 IBUs.

Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichanga

The dessert course was also well paired with a Chocolate Strawberry Cheeseake Chimichanga and an Irish Stout...both were thick and rich!

Make note that half the schedule for 2016 have been set!
