Stoudt's Tasting @ Pizzeria Paradiso

So Monday was another tasting at Pizza Paradiso, this time with Stoudt's brewery. We got the table by the fire place this time instead of the communal table whic we liked. Holly and Vic, though running late, joined us towards the end.

The appetizer was amazing, bite sized salt and pepper biscuits with a bowl of fresh cream and a bowl of honey for dippong. Perfectly paired with an English Bitter. The greek salad was a bit boring and I really did not like the Pilsner it was paired with but then I don't really like Pilsners anyway. The Lemon Scallop Soup was good, the scallops very tender. My only criticism would be that it was too lemony... perhaps a bit more subtlety would have been preferred. The paired IPA was pretty good.

The Pizzas were both highlights for me, but the first one especially. This was their weekly special for this week, mustard with arugula, green beans and asparagus. The bitterness in the pizza paired excellently with a relatively sweet (and very strond) double IPA that was excellent.

The dessert was amazing! and the Belgiun it was paired with was potent and excellent.
