... and the Beecher's Flagship cheese always adds to the flavor.

I checked our local Costco and they don't stock this. Bummer.  :'(

Dan,

The closest Costco to you that has the Beecher's Flagship cheese is the Spokane, WA Costco. If you are ever down that way, look in the Deli Dept for Item # 35366. Of course, you can always request for it to be brought into your warehouse.

Also, you can call Beecher's Cheese directly and they can send it to you.

The Dissident 2012 Reserve by Deschutes Brewer, Bend OR.

This beer is a Reserve Beer that has been aged in French Oak and with Cherries. The cost is $16.00 a bottle and has a distinct sour cherry taste. A beer that needs an acquired taste to appreciate. Not my first choice in a drinking beer, but it made Fantastic Pizza Dough. The top of the bottle was dipped in Red Wax to give it that special wine bottle look for a special beer.

The beer worked well into the dough as I kneaded the Pizza Dough made with Pendleton POWER Flour. The result was a great flavor dough after a 48 hour cold rise.

The picture of the finished cold rise dough is next to a one Gallon sized freezer bag.

A Combination that you might try.

I am sure that someone out there has done this already, but it was new to me. A good friend at work told me about his favorite pizza topping combination, so I had to try it. It has a really nice taste and i will make this pizza again in the future. Pepperoni, Green Bell pepper, cheese, and Pineapple bits. Simple, but a great combination.

  :) ;) :D ;D >:( :( :o 8) ??? ::) :P :-X :-[ :-\ :-* :'( >:D :angel: :-[ :-D :chef: :pizza:

In a week my thread is going to be move from "Ask The Dough Doctor Section" to the "General Pizza Making Section." The theme has kind of shifted to the variety of beers that i have used. However, i will post the recipe for "Using Beer in your dough making process" in the "Ask the Dough Doctor Section", as a one time post for reference. I have come a long way in my pizza making thanks to the PizzaMaking.com.  Proof that if I can make great pizza, then anyone can. Just keep at it and practice till you get the recipe that you want. Thank you all. (Thank you meatballs, Ron, for all the advice on the beers)

I just want to say...thank you for keeping this thread going! I haven't tried beer in my pizza dough yet, but I'm definitely going to. I'm kind of a beer nerd, and seeing what beer you're going to use next is pretty fun. I see you're on the west coast, so I'm not sure if you have access to it, but I think a good one to try would be Troegs Troegenator (brewery is in Pennsylvania). It's a doppelbock with a heavy molasses flavor.

Tom,

I also have thoroughly enjoyed reading your thread and seeing all the doughs and pizzas you made with different beers.  The pizzas look really good.  ;D  Enjoy your journey.  :pizza: :pizza:

I tried two Neopolitan doughs with two different beers a little while ago and that was a fun experiment for me.

Hello B.F.SkinnersRevenge,

Thanks for the beer recommendation. Unfortunately, I was informed by my beer store in WA, that Pennsylvania law prohibits distributors from bringing that beer to my state. I will have to try it when I visit Ohio sometime in the future. Thanks again. Remember that my thread is going to be moved to "General Pizza Making" sometime next week.

Matilda Belgian Style Ale & Samuel Adams Stony Brook Red.

I made two batches of Pizza dough with two different Belgian Style Beers. Each beer has it's own unique brewing process, taste, & color. The Matilda had an almost sweet taste and was lighter in color, while Samuel Adams had a tart fruit taste and is darker in color. Both will make great pizza dough. However, these are beers that IMO, you have to develop an acquired taste for, in order to drink them.

I made enough dough for six, 14" pizzas. Giving both dough at least a 72 hour cold rise in the fridge.
