This unique beer has been named "I(Pizza)A". It is a result of a collaboration between Tombstone Pizza (a frozen pizza brand) and Voodoo Ranger (a Colorado-based brewery). The official website explains that it has a 7% ABV and "delivers the flavours of Tombstone's crispy crust, tangy tomato sauce, and savoury herbs and spices into an ice-cold beer." Drinkers will also experience a "finishing pepperoni kick of heat".
As per the site, this limited-edition beer has been "inspired by Tombstone Pizza's born-in-a-bar heritage," and is meant for "the boldest of beer and pizza lovers." The Denver Post reports that this Pizza IPA is set to be launched on April 7, 2024, which is also National Beer Day in the USA.
The idea of a pizza-flavoured beer has received a lot of interest online. While some people seem unconvinced by the concept, others have expressed fascination.
