Pizza-flavoured beer to go on sale in UK

Pizza-flavoured beer will hit UK shops later this year, it has been reported.

Tom and Athena Seefurth from St Charles, Illinois, launched the brew in the US to instant success five years ago.

Playing on the fact that pizza and beer are often consumed together, the beer contains tomatoes, basil, oregano and garlic.



Creator Tom Seefurth said: "It tastes like normal beer when it's on your tongue. But when you swallow you get an aftertaste of pizza topping.

"The best way to describe it would be, that it tastes the way it would if you eat a chunk of pizza, then take a swig of beer."

The Mamma Mia! Pizza Beer has 4.7% alcoholic content, and will sell for £1.90 in the UK, having been on sale for $2.99 in the US.
