Bell’s Pizzapalooza is Friday; You’re Invited

From Bell’s:

COMSTOCK, MI  – Bell’s Brewery is teaming up with restaurants and bars across the country to celebrate two things everyone loves: pizza and beer.

This virtual celebration will coincide with National Pizza Party Day, at 7 p.m. EDT on Friday, May 15, 2020.

Bell’s Pizzapalooza will be a live guided beer tasting hosted by Bell’s streamed live on the brewery’s Facebook and YouTube pages. Four different and unique pizzas and how they each pair with a different Bell’s beer will be featured.

“This event combines two things that should be readily available no matter where you live. Comfort food meets delicious beer in a way that will hopefully help people feel a little connected, something we’re all looking for these days, and help support nearby restaurants and bars,” Larry Bell, President and Founder of Bell’s Brewery said.

The featured beers are Bell’s Official Hazy IPA (6.4% ABV), Light Hearted (3.7% ABV), Porter (5.6% ABV) and Lager of the Lakes (5% ABV). All are available year-round and widely available throughout Bell’s distribution footprint.

Bars and restaurants across the country are participating with a special quad pizza with the pairings. Additional details will be posted at bellsbeer.com.
