Beer and Pizza

What goes better together than Beer and Pizza? So with that in mind…. New Belgium Brewing decided “why not combine them”?

There’s an undeniable charm in the timeless pairing of pizza and beer, but have you ever imagined enjoying pizza within your beer? This intriguing concept has come to life with the introduction of I(Pizza)A, an innovative collaboration that marries the iconic flavors of Tombstone’s frozen pizzas with the craft mastery of New Belgium Brewing Co.’s Voodoo Ranger IPA.

Crafted for the adventurous palate, Voodoo Ranger’s I(Pizza)A stands out in the realm of food-inspired brews, offering a taste experience that’s as savory as it is unique. Just in time for the celebrations of National Beer Day on April 7, this beer promises to captivate your senses with the essence of a piping hot Tombstone pizza. Envision the crispness of the crust, the tanginess of tomato sauce, and a medley of savory herbs and spices, all rounded off with the unmistakable zest of pepperoni.

For craft beer aficionados and pizza lovers alike, this pizza-infused beer epitomizes culinary innovation, making it a must-try for those who cherish bold flavors and new experiences. Dive into the world of I(Pizza)A and let your taste buds embark on a journey they won’t soon forget.

Although Voodoo Ranger’s I(Pizza)A won’t be available until National Beer Day (April 7th, 2024), from now through April 7 you can sign up to win a free four-pack and a Tombstone pizza. Enter the contest by going to New Belgium’s VooDoo Ranger website here: VoodooRanger.com.

For enthusiasts eager to get their hands on a pack, it’s important to note that this unique beer will be sold in limited quantities across select markets for a brief period. Be prepared: a four-pack of this exclusive brew is priced at around $50.

Introducing the Voodoo Ranger Tombstone IPizzaA, a distinct IPA crafted with natural flavors. This brew boasts a 7% ABV and will be available in 16oz cans. Keep an eye out for more information on its release.

Small Brewery Sunday

Hopefully you all went out shopping today at your local brewery and helped support ‘small breweries’ and ‘small businesses’. Today was a day to celebrate all of the small, local, craft breweries. The ones whose owners live in our communities, who sponsor our son’s t-ball teams, the ones who have kids who go to our kids school, the ones who maybe go to our town halls, etc.

Especially in light of how earlier – Couch Brewery – announced their closure. It’s horrible to see small breweries go under and go bankrupt or close up shop and get forgotten about.

So we decided we would do a Small Brewery Sunday Giveaway here on The Beer Thrillers. (Our first giveaway.) We posted the rules here: Small Brewery Sunday Giveaway (2021).

Choosing Our Winner

We had several people enter on our Facebook page for a chance to win the Fall Hippo four pack by Boneshire Brew Works. So I used a random number generator (you can easily Google Search ‘random number generator’, and numerous ones will pop up). (Google has one built into their search engine as well.)

So I assigned everyone a number, and then hit the random generator, and it popped out number 3. (See attached screenshot to see.)

And thus…. the winner is:

• David Scott Raimist

Congratulations David! We have contacted Dave through Facebook messenger, and if he doesn’t get back to us, we’ll move onto the next randomly selected person.

Stay tuned in the future for more giveaways! Because, who doesn’t love free beer?

Thanks For Reading

As always, thanks for reading everyone. Be sure to follow us on our social media pages to stay ontop of giveaways, polls, news articles, beer reviews, book reviews, and more!

Cheers!

Small Brewery Sunday

This Sunday – November 28th 2021 – is Small Brewery Sunday. Its the perfect day to give back to your favorite local small brewery and buy up all the beer you can! Obviously Thursday is Thanksgiving, followed by Black Friday, and Small Business Saturday, and then on Monday is Cyber Monday. So what better then making Sunday – Small Brewery Sunday!

As per Brewers Association:

Pop quiz: What sits between Black Friday and Cyber Monday and is three or four times better (at least!) than both of those holidays put together?

That’s right: Small Brewery Sunday!

Brewers Association: Small Brewery Sunday

Small Brewery Sunday was devised and created as a way to get small breweries business and to raise awareness of shopping through them for the Holiday Season. Instead of flooding Wal-Mart or Amazon for gifts this year, why not go to your local brewery, like Boneshire Brew Works, or Tattered Flag, or Rubber Soul, or Moo-Duck Brewery, or ZeroDay Brewing, or Ever Grain Brewing, or Wolf Brewing, or one of a billion other small local breweries?

Give Away

So with that in mind we are hosting a give-away!

We will be giving away one *FREE* four pack of ‘Fall Hippo’ by Boneshire Brew Works. It’s a 4pk of 16oz cans, brewed and canned at Boneshire Brew Works in Harrisburg (Rutherford) PA.
