Pizza and Beer

A local gourmet pizza joint in Georgetown, Pizza Paradiso, holds a monthly dinner and micro beer tasting menu for $65/person including tax and tip. We attended this past monday and were greatly impressed. There are two seatings and we got the later one as these fill up fast and the early was already booked. So on a rainy cold night, we stomped down to M street at 9 to the basement of Pizza Paradiso. The room was already filled and a fire was burning in a cozy fireplace. We were seated at a communal table with another couple and a couple of college guys. There was already an apetizer on the table of brocoli pesto slaw on some toast points and an 8oz glass of one of the Troegs Brewery varieties. All in all, there were six courses, each with a different Brew. Sam really liked the Double Bock and the Mad Elf (11% alcohol... and tasted great... dangerous). I also liked the Mad Elf and enjoyed the Nugget Nectar, Hop Back, and Scratch (this is the micro micro brew). The food was amazing as well, especially the pizzas which included one with sliced beets. The dessert, a chocolate mousse with fresh whipped cream topping was decadent.

This will definately become a monthly event, as we have already made reservations for 4 for the earlier seeting next month.
