Pizza-Flavored Beer?

Ok, I really need to know - does the idea of pizza-flavored beer really appeal to anyone out there? Honestly?

One man in the Chicago area certainly seems to think so, and has been brewing up batches ever since. Apparently Tom Seefurth came up with the idea last year when he and his wife found themselves with an excess of garden tomatoes. As a brewing hobbyist, he decided to add the pizza flavors directly to his home-brew. His recipe includes not only a tomato garlic puree with garden fresh oregano, but he actually adds in real pieces of baked pizza during the brewing process.

Now I love pizza and I love beer, but seriously - the two together? I'll pass, thanks. What about you - would you try it?

I was just joking about how far beer makers are willing to take it on my blog the other day.

A friend of mine used to think that Modelo Especial tasted a bit like pizza... I never picked up on that flavor, but it was her favorite beer in Mexico. Maybe it'll turn out to be fantastic. People like pumpkin and green chiles in beer, why not tomatoes and oregano? I'd try it, if only once.

You can add beer to pizza crust, that's pretty tasty.
